In the letter, Razov said the 'discrimination' of Russian citizens in Italy was taking place at various levels.
He cited among other things the 'seizures of real estate and other assets of businessmen', then the 'unreasonable expulsion of 30 embassy employees' and cases in which ‘the performances in Italy of personalities of Russian culture’ were cancelled.
Razov's letter, published on the embassy's social channels, comes in response to an interview with Corriere della Sera by Crosetto in which the Brothers of Italy (FdI) heavyweight, a close ally of Premier Giorgia Meloni, said Monday that Italy wanted peace but that Kyiv would succumb to Moscow without aid.
Crosetto also said that "insults" from Russian former premier Dimitri Medvedev "leave me indifferent".
President Sergio Mattarella, meanwhile, has told visiting Hungarian President Katalin Novák that military aid to Ukraine is not aimed at prolonging the conflict.
"The political, economic and military support to Ukraine and the sanctions on Russia are aimed at ending the war, not fuelling it", he said after talks at the Quirinale presidential palace amid Novak's state visit to Italy.
In addition to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its political, economic and humanitarian consequences, the Quirinale said, the topics of discussion at the meeting included bilateral relations, the future of the EU and relations with the US, migration, the Western Balkans and the persecution of Christians around the world.
