(AGENPARL) - Roma, 19 Maggio 2023(AGENPARL) – KREMLIN ven 19 maggio 2023
The President held,
via videoconference, a meeting of the Council for Interethnic Relations, which
focused on the advantages of Russia’s current system of state national policy,
the integration of the new regions into the Russian socio-cultural environment,
and the adjustment of the State National Policy Strategy in the context of external threats
and challenges.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, colleagues.
Welcome to the meeting of the Council for Interethnic Relations.
My colleagues and I have come to the North Caucasus Federal District.
Incidentally, we will be able to talk with each of you after the event or hold
some of these meetings tomorrow to calmly discuss the situation in each
constituent entity of the Russian Federation.
Today we will be talking about the State National Policy Strategy. It
was adopted over 10 years ago. We never slacken attention to its
implementation, and we understand that the current circumstances call for updating it.
We are aware of the aggressive external pressure being put on Russia and our society. We have to deal with nearly all instruments in the enemies’
arsenals, including economic, miliary, political and information tools, as well
as formidable anti-Russia propaganda. The attacks on our history, culture and spiritual values never ease up, just as the attempts to undermine the unity and fraternal relations among our peoples.
Our adversaries have decided that Russia’s multi-ethnicity is a tender
spot, and they are making every effort to divide us. I would like to say a few
words about this. The adversaries I have mentioned, as you know from your own
experience, stage provocations within ethnic communities, establish
socio-political associations, allegedly on behalf of Russian peoples, which
represent only themselves and other stoolpigeons, and shamelessly declare the need for the so-called decolonisation of Russia.
Incidentally, they are talking their own talk, because they are the countries that used to have colonies and that are now pursuing a neo-colonial
policy. That is why, when they talk about us, they think about themselves,
believing that we are just like them. They say that Russia must be divided into
dozens of small states, and it is clear why – so as to subsequently bend these
states to their will, exploit them and use them for their own mercenary
purposes. They have no other goals.
To be continued.
