Russia�s Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar tells Putin: �We see a lot of antisemitism around the world,� but �we cannot feel anything of this kind in Russia.�

Rabbi Lazar says he is �very grateful� to Putin, praising Russia as a country where various religions live in peace.

Putin: �Every ethnic and religious group knows that working together is the foundation of Russia�s stability. They contribute in their own way to all our victories.�

Rabbi Lazar adds that Putin is �being too modest� about his role in creating a harmonious Russia.
