“Based on the experts’ conclusion, the videos conclude content that violates people’s dignity based on their gender, race, nationality, native language and place of origin, as well as justifications of acts of terror aimed at a group of people that do not constitute terrorists,” Lyudmila Fomina, Senior Assistant of the Head of the Investigative Department of the city Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, told PenzaNews agency.
