Lavrov: term 'Russian World' has nothing in common with nationalism

The term 'Russian World'  has nothing in common with nationalism, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview for the film about Russian politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky’s anniversary broadcast.

"This thesis, just like the term ‘Russian World’, has nothing in common with nationalism. It is part of our foreign policy doctrine of protecting compatriots, promoting ideals and values of the ‘Russian World" and reflecting our multinational culture," he noted.

"We have common language which unites us all - the Russian language, and all our citizens speak this language. Russian culture is multinational by definition," Lavrov stressed.
