Ah i see. Yea from what i understand Russia is a huge conglomeration of many different ethnic groups with multiple different languages and cultures - the main similarity between them apart from living in Russian territory, is the commonality of the Russian Language and Russian Central Government Authority - otherwise he's correct when addressing 'What is a Russian in a multinational country?' . The term Russia for Russians seeks to exclude other Russian citizens purely based on ethnicity.
What you say is perfectly reasonable. I was interpreting putin's words from a ethno-nationalist perspective + nigger/sand nigger fatigue. I don't think anything but ethno-states will work long term.
Yea, same - and tbf without context it does kinda suggest the opposite of what is being implied. Any multi-culturalism always brings issues and problems that can be purposely used by those with an agenda.
