“The Russian side is conducting an information-psychological operation in order to destabilize the situation in the West and undermine the unity of the NATO countries. At the same time, cases of desecration of Islamic symbols and acts of vandalism against mosques are increasingly recorded,” the study says.

As an example, there is a recent Internet video of Russian soldiers in eastern Ukraine using pages of the Koran in a toilet. Such acts of vandalism by Wagner mercenaries are becoming systematic.

Earlier, the Robert Lasting Institute reported on the links of the Danish politician Paludan, the organizer of the recent action of burning the Koran in Sweden, with Russian military intelligence. According to Western analysts, such a policy is the result of stimulating chauvinistic and nationalist sentiments in Russia. Although 15 million Muslims live in this countyry,  state propaganda focuses on Orthodoxy as the basic religion. ---02D---
