Claim 2: “Yelena Afanasyeva, Deputy Chair of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, has said [Russia has become a kind of 'asylum' for compatriots from unfriendly countries, as well as for foreigners whose views on traditional values are not supported in their home countries]”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is directly supported by a TASS report, which quotes Yelena Afanasyeva using the exact phrasing regarding Russia becoming an 'asylum' for compatriots and foreigners with traditional values. However, only one independent news source (TASS) was provided in the evidence, and the other search results for 'Yelena Belova' are irrelevant fictional characters.
