How do Russians maintain a 'traditional identity' when they are as diverse a population as we could find anywhere?
Russian diversity comes from indigenous coexisence in the same landscape for centuries, i.e., different from mass migration. @David_A_Hussey
French diversity is the result of imperialist expansion and the assimilation of occupied peoples ... like Russia
that Russia has had longer to assimilate those they've occupied does not change the fact that France has millions of Muslims
Russian expansion across Eurasia was done according to a different model than European colonialism (eg few conversions).
I get what you're saying Nina ... but the "traditional identity" and "culture" Le Pen is trying to 'rescue' died in Algeria
They now have a substantial French population which is not 'traditionally French' yet are indeed French. Short of expulsion
of millions of people I don't see how she hopes to achieve the revival of what she sees as being 'inherently French'
