Really, some authors in Western Europe are expressing the opinion from
the beginning of 1990s that certain «threshold of tolerance» exists. «A
critical percentage» of «strangers» is assessed as rather a wide range
from 12% to 25%. This image is often substantiated speculatively and considered
by many specialists as very disputable [See V.Stolcke. Talking Culture:
New Boundaries, New Rhetorics of Exclusion in Europe. // Current Anthropology.
Vol. 36, # 1, February 1995, p.3]. A pseudo-scientific, not scientific
nature of arguments used by Krasnodar bureaucrats is determined particularly
by rather free construction of others’ studies, lack of specific references
and the desire to pose something that was not proved as a quite authentic
thing.
