Istoriia, ideologiia, ekstremistskie tendentsii, Moscow: Institute of Experimental Sociology, 1996, pp. 93-94. (Note: the term "nationalism" is understood as ethnic nationalism in that book.) It is problematic to differentiate between ethnic and imperial nationalisms in post-imperial societies.

20. Ethno-religious intolerance in the media has often been the subject of research. The SOVA Center has also researched this theme. The specifics of anti-migrant hate speech are clearly seen in the findings of our media monitoring.
