At the beginning of the 21st century, the Russian political lexicon acquired the notion of "tolerance." In 2001, a federal target program "The formation of tolerant mentality and preventive measures against extremism in Russian society" was introduced. ---
BTW I caught one of these tolerance ads on TV last night. It was footage of people of different ethnicities writing home to their mothers in Armenian, Georgian, Ajerbaijani (I think) and Russian, with a translation and voiceover in Russian. It ended with the question, "are we really different?"
===== Nu, zayats, pogodi!
