The President attended the plenary session of the United Cultures Forum in St Petersburg. Key takeaways from Vladimir Putin’s speech:

🔸 The thousand-year history of Russia shows the significance of cultural diversity as a paramount asset, and that the synergy of cultures is essential for stable and peaceful development.

🔸 The current global tensions are, in part, fuelled by certain forces’ claims of exclusivity, including cultural exclusivity, and their disregard for others’ customs and spiritual values.

🔸 The future belongs to a free and diverse development of cultures and the broadest dialogue among humanitarian communities in the emerging multipolar world.

🔸 Genuine art plays a crucial role in preventing those who falsify history from distorting the past to suit current ideological constructs, pitting people against one another.

🔸 Efforts to “cancel” Russian culture, which is rooted in true freedom and compassion, love for humanity and spirituality, are anti-cultural, neo-colonial, and racist in their essence.

🔸 Art knows no borders despite bans and sanctions.

🔸 The Russian language has been and remains a language of interethnic communication for hundreds of millions of people around the world. President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev proposed to establish an International Organisation for the Russian Language, which was supported by Russia and the leaders of the CIS.

🔸 Next year Russia will assume the presidency in two international organisations - BRICS and the CIS, with an extensive cultural programme planned. We are also looking forward to increasing cultural and humanitarian cooperation with the SCO, ASEAN, and leading regional organisations in Africa and Latin America.

🔸 Russia is committed to collaborating closely with all those who share the values of peace, friendship and mutual respect, and are ready to actively contribute to the formation of a modern multipolar world based on civilisational and cultural diversity.

ГЕНДИРЕКТОР WADA ОЛИВЬЕ НИГГЛИ: РОССИЯ НЕ ИМЕЕТ ПРАВА ОРГАНИЗОВЫВАТЬ ИГРЫ ДРУЖБЫ ИЗ-ЗА НЕСООТВЕТСТВИЯ РОССИЙСКОГО АНТИДОПИНГОВОГО АГЕНТСТВА

Рекомендую Оливье Ниггли заняться вопросом соответствия допинговым стандартам включённых в международные соревнования по линии МОК трансгендеров, накаченных гормонами. А Игры дружбы Россия проведёт на высоком уровне в соответствии с имеющимися международными нормами.

WADA CEO OLIVIER NIGGLI: RUSSIA DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ORGANIZE THE FRIENDSHIP GAMES BECAUSE OF THE INCOMPLIANCE OF THE RUSSIAN ANTI-DOPING AGENCY

I recommend Olivier Niggli to address the issue of compliance with doping standards of transgender people pumped up with hormones included in international competitions through the IOC. And Russia will hold the Friendship Games at a high level in accordance with existing international standards.

Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery and a number of other large companies refused to place their advertisements on the social network X, owned by American entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk. This was reported by The Hollywood Reporter on Friday, November 17.

In addition to Disney, corporations such as Wish, Lionsgate, Comcast NBCUniversal, IMB, as well as Paramount and Sony Pictures refused to cooperate with the entrepreneur.

Earlier, on October 28, it was reported that Elon Musk intends to provide internationally recognized relief organizations in the Gaza Strip with the opportunity to connect to Starlink . For this reason, the Israeli Ministry of Communications decided to sever all contacts with the company.
