"Unfortunately, the events of the last decade in Russia did not contribute to the strengthening of the traditions of internationalism in society. Interethnic relations have become especially complicated due to the growth of terrorism, which is cultivated mainly by extremist religious movements ... I am deeply convinced that all citizens, regardless of national and religious affiliation, have the right to life and freedom of religion. Only on such principles can a state governed by the rule of law be built. These principles are also declared by the Constitution of the Russian Federation ... I think that the residents of Voronezh will support the idea of ​​​​building a House of Friendship of Peoples in our city, "the appeal says .
