Russian official Shoigu denies Western efforts to divide Russia, calling them baseless.
Former Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, now Security Council secretary, claimed in a October 28 op-ed that Western nations are trying to break up Russia into small, weak states by exploiting its ethnic diversity.
He dismissed such claims as baseless, asserting Russia’s multiethnic society remains united through shared history, culture, and values.
Shoigu criticized Western attacks on Russian heritage, framing them as part of a broader strategy to undermine national cohesion.
The remarks come amid international criticism, including the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe’s 2022 resolutions calling for Russia’s “decolonization,” which Moscow condemned as Russophobic and neocolonial.
Russia is home to over 100 ethnic minorities, including seven Muslim-majority and two Buddhist-majority regions.
