  "In February, the attorney general of the Federation sent the administrative committee of the Jehovah's Witnesses a letter accusing the members of the Russian community of "violations of the law," "abstention from military service," and "social isolation," behaviors that "evoke negative attitudes on the part of the populace and traditional Russian confessions."

  And how does the WTS react?

  The representatives of the Jehovah's Witnesses reject the accusations

  Of course they do..

  In the Year of Youth, which is being celebrated in 2009, the state wants to develop a more effective youth policy, taking advantage of the collaboration of religious associations on both the federal and regional level, and continuing the cooperation already established in the area of the family.
