During a raid, they found "instructions" for conducting subversive activities, as well as materials with anti-Semitic and pro-Russian propaganda.
According to experts, the materials contain frank calls for aggressive actions against representatives of a certain national minority, and provoke hostility between people of different nationalities and faiths.
