Putin Vows to Block Color Revolutions in Russia
Lesson Brief
Vedomosti
Vladimir Putin is convinced that extremism is a major threat to Russia's security and has vowed to do all in his power to block a "color revolution" from happening inside Russia. Painting the image that color revolutions in other countries have led to nothing but turmoil, pain, and heartache, Putin set forth a plan to deal with extremism in his own country. This plan includes working with youth to block them from being recruited by "leaders of extremist organizations" online and maintaining stricter control over migration policies in Russia.
