This can be best achieved through early education, model legislation and enforcement. He is known as the author of ‘Manifesto on Secure Tolerance’ where the concept of Secure Tolerance is being disclosed in details and speaks about modern global threats and crises and ways to overcome them.

In 2018 the ECTR has announced the establishment of the Kantor Prize for Secure Tolerance and ECTR Research Grants.

According to Kantor, the purpose of MAGMA is to "to bring back to Russia all the names that have been ‘appropriated’ by other countries. For many people it would probably be a revelation to find out that many famous artists that rose to prominence in Europe and America, whose works are the envy of any museum in the world, were in fact our compatriots. At the same time, people in other countries are surprised to discover that their ‘local heroes’ happen to be Jews, and originally from Russia: Chagall, Zadkine, Lipschitz, Delaunay. The elite of the School of Paris.”
