Was given the opportunity to ask a question, this is 2000, year, 5 years ago, here, but after the start of the war in ukraine, uh, japan participated in sanctions against russia, russia announced the suspension of negotiations on the conclusion of a peace treaty between the two countries, as a result of which japan, russian relations went south to a dead end. I personally, for the time being, i do not see a good prospect for improving the situation, however, russia and japan, neighbors, i believe that it is necessary to keep a window, a dialogue, an opening, in this sense , i believe that the time has long come to open dialogue between our countries, on at the level, at least, uh, traxes, that is, at the expert level, uh, well, i think that japan should come up with, if i understand, take such an initiative, mr. President support and carry it, thank you, today window openings are popular , noticed, im a fourthclass carpenter, i know how to build windows, dont worry, you know how to expand , well expand if necessary, if it suits our national interests, well work on it, that means. You said that you asked the question in 2018, after the outbreak of hostilities in ukraine, everything changed there, the fighting in ukraine began not after 2018, but in 2014, but in japan they simply preferred not to notice it, and the more acute phase really began in the twentysecond, but the fighting itself. During bombing attacks by Armored Vehicles on donbass, thats all where it began, i said this when i made my opening speech here, in my opening speech, now about our relations, but it wasnt us who introduced sanctions against japan, it wasnt we who slammed this window, in this case in asia, japan did it, we didnt do anything. If you think that the time has come for some kind of dialogue to take place, and you think that it is possible for the japanese side to somehow take some kind of initiative, it is always a good thing when there is some kind of dialogue, you asked me, are we ready to respond to this, are we ready if there is such an initiative on the part of the side that. Closed these doors or windows, well, if you think its time to open this window, then, well, please, we never said , what we are against it, do it, alexander rakovich, your happening. I am a historian from belgrade, serbia, it is a privilege for me to be here, to see you and speak with you, i have a question about yours about the current relations between russia and serbia and the current position of the serbs in the balkans, are we, the serbs and russia, the target, because we stand for christianity. Mr. President , i have two books with me that i brought from belgrade for you. Please accept them into your library. I will provide your Protocol Service after our session these books. Thank you very much, i will definitely take the books, thank you. As for whether russia and serbia are a target for some circles in the west . Well, yes, thats a fact. Well, what about this . No special proof is needed here. Its just a fact. Why is serbia such a target . Ill tell you honestly, i dont understand, just like russia, in the early nineties, was ready to do anything to build after the collapse of the soviet union, believing that times would change dramatically changed, to make virtually any sacrifice in order to build our relations with western countries, what we got was support for separatism and terrorism. Directly, politically, informationally, financially, and even militaryly, well you just know, at that time i was first the director of the fsb, i looked in surprise at what was happening, i thought, why, we seem to be all together now, why are they doing this, but they did it, im not ashamed of the answer no, to be honest, not even now. I guess its some kind of, well just a lack of education, or something, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, trends, misunderstanding of how the world works, how russia works, what this can lead to, just a desire to put pressure on, put on, put on, nothing but force, because a sanction is also force, just in a different form. A complete desire to search for some kind of compromise, these are these shouts that i spoke about, you must, you are obliged, we are warning you, this is also force, well, an attempt to use an element of force, its the same thing, thats all in it lies in the relationship between yugoslavia and serbia, first yugoslavia, then serbia, why . Serbia also seemed to be ready for everything, wanted to agree on everything. No, we need to add pressure, add pressure, well, you know, ive heard it many times, we need to put pressure on it, this is a weak link, we need to put pressure on it, philosophy, this is the philosophy, why exactly the serds should be added pressure, to be honest, i dont know, even moreover , when what there were frank conversations, i still had normal relations with some leaders, when they told me, i need to add more, i say, why . No answer, its just like that, this philosophy has developed, this is the paradigm, we need to decide like this, to crush it, but the serbs are not the same people, the history is not the same , the culture is not the same, you know, ill say, maybe such a difficult thing can be destroyed, crush and subjugate the serbs its impossible, they dont understand this either, but i hope that sooner or later, there will be an understanding of this component , of european politics and the world in general, that will lead to understanding, there will come an understanding that it is still more constructive to negotiate, and not try to put pressure, here yes, mr. President , thank you for your speech, they are very informative, i am from new delhi, thank you very much for the positive assessment of the role of india, i have a question about group 20, a declaration of group 20 was developed, we are very grateful for your work, in group 20 there is also. Some reference , one world, one family, one future, which is connected with the civilizational approach, as it seems to me, about which. Just like russian civilization, you promote the approach of russian civilization, and also india describes itself, calls itself a civilizational state, a state civilization, so it is necessary to establish a dialogue between civilizations, and not follow the path, the state of civilization, which is what was once popular in the western world. Now leaders like you, the Prime Minister, modi are moving forward with their initiatives , they will help create a dialogue between civilizations, which can be positive, help create the principles of International Relations that you spoke about, the question is thank you, first of all i want to confirm that , what you said in relation to indian civilization, russian civilization, namely i spoke about this in my opening speech, india is certainly the oldest world civilization, powerful, huge, with enormous potential, russia is also a separate civilization, look, we have over 190 peoples of nationalities and ethnic groups living in russia, more than 270 languages, well of course, isnt this a civilization, and india is a multireligious, multiethnic country, huge, its just that we are between all civilizations, these are not the only world civilizations, we need to make adjustments. Balance of interests and mechanisms for maintaining this balance, which regarding the work of the g20, this is certainly a success of the indian leadership and personally of the Prime Minister, mr. Modi, this is a success, and the indian leadership was able to find and achieve this balance, including in the declaration. Some kind of closed associations, they do not have much prospects, and the balance is changing, well, what seems to me, the success of the twenty in india is that after all, the Prime Minister managed to depoliticize the decisions that were made at the twenty, this is the only correct approach, because the twenty was once created as a platform for discussing economic rather than political issues, and the politicization of the g20 is simply a sure way to its selfdestruction, and the indian leadership managed to avoid this, and this is an unconditional success, but as for the fact that some closed associations are closed, they are flawed , then, it seems to me that this thesis is difficult to refute, because the balance of forces is changing, look, just recently, everyone there looked with a shudder, but what will happen as a result of the meeting of the seven . The Worlds Largest economies are gathering, what are they deciding there now, what consequences will there be for the global economy. Well, even before the expansion, before the expansion, the economy of the brix countries already accounted for more than 51 of world gdp, respectively , the economy of the seven was less than 51 one, and now, after the admission of additional members of the brix organization, the volume of the economy of the brix member countries has become even greater than. Members of the seven, therefore the real balance of power potentials is very important, in this sense, open areas are always better, always more promising, always more valuable, because they create conditions for finding compromises and mutually acceptable solutions, but if we talk about the results, about the results of the work of the twenty, i want to repeat once again, i would like to end the answer to your question here, this is the unconditional success of Prime Minister moli. Vladimir vladimirovich, but you didnt go to brix, you didnt go to twenty either, you dont feel a little bit. In the first years of soviet power there were no social payments, so we dont need social payments, we are a selfsufficient state and we are following this path, they also deprived us of civil rights some, well, yes, they decided, which means that we are defending our rights, im sure we will ensure them, thats the first thing, the second thing, why should i create any problems for our friends. When these events are held, you and i are adults, we understand, yes, i came there, political attacks will begin, which means the show is political, so, all this will be aimed at disrupting the events, but why . First of all, we are interested in the brix going smoothly, with consistent results, the twenty being held at the required level, all this is what happened for us quite satisfied, well. After all , there is enough to do at home, that is, you are not offended by the president . Well, is this our friend . And is he on you . Well, what is this for . No, we agreed with him, he came, came to russia twice, we met with him , talked for a long time, there were no problems, and i think that he carried out a brilliant brix, to be honest, i didnt even expect him to be so, so diplomatic art, because if you followed how the discussion went. After all , it was not easy to resolve the issue of expansion brix, and he did it, he so politely, tactfully, repeatedly returned to the same topic, and once, and twice, and three times, finally, consensus was achieved, it was achieved, this is a positive result, we welcome him, in the next year you will be in his place, you already know who we will host, well, next year yes, we are chairing the brix, and of course, we will strive to take the baton from south africa, for the first time we will hold a summit with participation of new members of the organization, well, 200 events we have planned within the framework of brix, this year i am sure a lot of positive work will be done to strengthen the organization, which is becoming more and more authoritative, powerful, and this will certainly benefit both the members of the organization and the entire international community, it originated in russia, brix, i will remind you how it was, at first we proposed to gather the three of us, russia, india and china, and agreed that we would meet on a regular basis, and so rick arose, russia, india, china, then brazil. Expressed desire and readiness to join these discussions, brix turned out, and then south africa, south africa turned out to be brix, and now we, we have come to expansion and expanded the number of members of the organization, in my opinion, this is very important, this indicates the growth of authority and the desire, thats the most important thing, the desire to join a format that does not oblige anyone to anything, does not impose anything on anyone. But simply create conditions for finding compromises and resolving those issues that need to be resolved, which all participating countries are interested in, we are happy about this, we believe that this is a positive process, lets take algeria, algeria, our friend, of course, a traditional friend, in the arab world, in northern africa, we believe that this would benefit the organization, but we. Conditionally must work through these issues with all our friends within the framework of brix, in contact with the algerian leadership itself, do this calmly, without creating problems for the organization, but only creating additional ways for common development, thank you, dayan jeitelek, here , thank you, mister president , eh. I represent sri lanka, i was the ambassador to the russian federation, the western bloc decided to bombard ukraine with longrange missiles that could reach the territory of the russian federation, and they also wanted to provide f16. It is obvious that you are now faced with war, imperialism, proxy war, and as you have already said, there are nazi elements here, from a historical point of view, mr. President , imperialism was fought on the battlefield. These are the chinese communists, the communists of north korea and vietnam, they won victory over the United States. As for imperialism, and he was criticized most of all by line. The question is in the face of this challenge, this threat. On the part of these forces, perhaps it is time to reassess 1917, because the chinese, vietnamese and north koreans were the children of this year, do you think it is time to reconsider the events of these years, as well as the us relationship with its. And also with china during the chinese revolution, thats my question, im sorry, im sorry, please clarify, take microphone, please see what and who needs to reconsider , you have such a complex question, starting from 1917, if i understand correctly, a colleague asks, isnt it time to look. To reconsider exactly the attitude towards the period of our history of our history 1917 and this and beyond, im sorry that im interpreting, but thats how i understood it, but why interpret when there is an author of this . Let me briefly explain what im talking about. Since we are under attack from imperialism and elements of fascism, since there have already been cases of successful victories in china, korea, vietnam, victories over imperialism. And lenin wrote texts about imperialism. Perhaps the time has come to criticize the events of 1917 less. And restore historical status. Criticize less the events of those years, including in russia itself, as i understand it, yes, you are right, right in the sense that you need to engage less in criticism, and more in such deep things. In this case , even scientific analyzes of the realities that happened at that time, that are happening now, uh, yes, youre right, uh, the only thing is, what, it is necessary to give such deep assessments, uh, including assessments related to ideologization, now i will speak my own opinion, my own opinion, everyone present here can argue with him, but it is necessary to give correct assessments of ideologization, interstate relations and geopolitical interests, except for relations between classes, relations within the framework of the so called class struggle, but we did not attach importance, and even after the events of 1991, after the collapse of the soviet union. We were still in the paradigm of class relations ideological relations and did not notice that there are purely geopolitical interests, here are relations with the chinese peoples republic of the west, there was a moment when they tried and , not unsuccessfully, to play off china and the soviet union and russia, it was the weakest, not scary, now that china has begun to grow, it under the leadership of the same comptia, and today, before autumn, power is increasing, almost every day, well, thats it, now there is a return to, then, when china tried to use it, then they forgot about all the ideological differences. And now they are reviving them again, but essentially, at the core, uh, at the core of us policy in relation to china, uh, fears. Geopolitical nature, power, the growing power of china, thats whats frightening, and not that some human rights or the rights of National Minorities are violated there, does that really bother anyone, no, its just a tool in the fight against china, thats all, the same with regard to russia, in general, globally, well, yes, it is necessary to give such general, general. Deeper assessments, and in any case, i agree with you that everything there is indiscriminate throwing away the dustbin of history, everything that happened under the leadership of the communist parties of that time, which you mentioned, of course, indiscriminately tarring it all with the same brush, this is inappropriate and even harmful, in this sense i agree with you, well, since about china they started talking,战略自主。在 8月举行的金专 封会上, 有六个国家加入了金专合作机质。您认为在 推动南方国家合作方面的重点是什么 . ,俄罗斯在应对美西方持续, mr. President , i represent the xinhu institute from china, in the last meetings of the valdai club we talked about brix, and this is very important, we also saw that after the usa and some western countries sought sanctions against russia, the global south did not follow their example. And showed strategic independence during the brix summit in august this year, six countries became new brix members and the global south reached a new level in its history of cooperation. China and russia are important emerging economies and what they can do our countries to expand cooperation within the global south, what are the main areas that need to be strengthened and what needs to be done in the face of new sanctions from the United States and some western countries, what else can russia do to cope with this challenge, thank you, cooperation today, russia and the peoples republic of china are certainly a very important factor stabilizing international life, this is the first, second, in order for this influence, this influence to grow, first in all, we need to Pay Attention to maintaining the pace of our Economic Growth, i already said, this year in russia, in russia , uh, Economic Growth, i dont remember whether i said it or not, but i spoke about some aspects, if i said it, ill repeat it , uh, but Economic Growth this year will be somewhere around 2. 8, or maybe 3 , closer to three, i say this very
