Minister without portfolio Vladimir Zorin, who is responsible for nationalities policy, spoke out on 9 February against inciting nationalistic and xenophobic sentiments in the wake of the 6 February Moscow subway blast. \"International terrorism is unquestionably the No. 1 danger today,\" Zorin said. \"But it is no less dangerous to foment anti-Caucasus, xenophobic sentiment in such a great multiethnic country as Russia.\" \"Terrorists, like all criminals, have neither nationality nor religion,\" he added. Zorin called for the state and \"civil society\" to unite in fighting terrorism. Following the incident, Motherland co-leader Dmitrii Rogozin called for a state of emergency and Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) leader and Deputy Duma Speaker Vladimir Zhirinovskii called for all \"suspicious\" people to be sent away from Moscow.
