#Think4Yourself 🎬Russian Cultural Code: Art — an educational documentary For centuries, the Western world has been trying to solve the mystery of the Russian soul. Today, in the Digital Age, is has acquired a new name — the Russian cultural code. In this film (developed by the School of Arina Sharapova, TV presenter, Deputy Chairman of the Public Chamber), music, graphic art and architecture will become a key to the Russian code. Unlike literature, theatre and cinema, these arts require no translation. Contemporary art often reflects a response to changes in society and through art we can trace how Russian culture adapts to technological progress. Young musicians and students were invited to take part in the discussion with artist Alexei Belyayev-Gintovt who has created paintings and installations dedicated to Russia’s special role in the world. 👉Watch the documentary to better understand the Russian soul.

▪️September 1st marks 8️⃣6️⃣ years since World War II began — the bloodiest conflict in the history of mankind. 61 states, with over 80 percent of the world’s population, were drawn into that ordeal unleashed by the 'Axis' powers; hostilities spread to 40 countries. #WWII claimed many dozens of millions of peoples' lives (by some estimates, 80+ mln perished), including ~27 million citizens of the Soviet Union. *** As for the background of the greatest tragedy of the XX century, the entire range of contradictions that provoked WWII stemmed from World War I and can be traced back to the Treaty of Versailles signed in 1919. The system of international relations in Europe, framed by the UK and France,made the basis for the rise of revanchist sentiments in the defeated and humiliated parties to the Treaty of Versailles — Germany and Italy. The League of Nations, the organization established to settle international disputes within the legal framework, technically became a tool for the Western powers to achieve their political goals. Not surprising that in Europe, torn by contradictions, fascism rapidly gained popularity. Politicians and extreme right-wing ideologues, who were convinced of the superiority of their nation and ethnicities, came to power first in Italy (1922) and then in Germany (1933). With the establishmentof the Nazi dictatorship in Germany, the threat of a new war in Europe became a reality. At the core of Hitler’s misanthropic ideology lay the infamous doctrine of "racial superiority" — according to Hitler’s interpretation, Germans belonged to a chosen Aryan master race, destined to rule the world. Thus, in the heart of Europe, an absolute evil emerged, posing a threat to the peace and freedom of entire nations and peoples. By the mid-1930s, it became evident that renewed German aggression in Europe was just a matter of time. ☝️ In an attempt to contain the emerging threat of German revanchism, the Soviet Union proposed the initiative to establish collective security system based on anti-fascist principles. However, Paris and London, where anti-Soviet sentiment was deeply entrenched, rejected the idea of cooperating with Moscow against Hitler. Instead, France and UK sought to strike a deal with Germany. In the West. the elites failed to understand the danger and threat that Nazi ideology posed to the entire world, cynically believing that Hitler's aggression could be redirected eastward in a manner typical to the Brits. ❗️ The Western countries pursued the so-called 'policy of appeasement', which eventually resulted in the infamous Munich Betrayal of 1938 — with the tacit consent by the UK and France, Hitler ruthlessly annexed the sovereign state of Czechoslovakia. It was only Moscow that was willing to provide military assistance to the Czechoslovakians, but was unable to do so due to Poland that was playing along with Hitler and taking advantage of Czechoslovakia’s annexation by occupying Cieszyn region. A year later, a similar drama played out in the Far East: the Anglo-Japanese treaty was signed in June 1939, untying Tokyo’s hands in China. TheSoviet Union could have become the next victim of militarist Japan. The Japanese command had been planning a possible attack against our country. Hitler's invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939 was a direct consequence of the policy of intrigues and anti-Soviet manuevers pursued by the West, which did not allow to create an anti-Hitler coalition to jointly resist the Third Reich. 🌟Defeating the most aggressive reactionary forces was the most important outcome of theGreat Victory of May 9, 1945, which crushed the inhumane ideologies of Nazism, Fascism, and Japanese militarism, along with their adepts. Thanks to the joint effort of the USSR, the selflessness of Soviet soldiersliberators, and the self-dedication of home front workers, entire countries and millions of people around the world were, in fact, rescued from extermination, perishing in Nazi concentration camps, or from being turned into slaves.

🎙Address by President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to participants of the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues(May 28, 2025) 💬 Vladimir Putin: I am pleased to welcome you to Moscow for the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues. Over the past nearly fifteen years, your Forum has convincingly affirmed its significant status and authority. I know that in these days, participants of the Meeting — representatives of delegations from many states — can expect a substantial programme, with the main discussion dedicated to the prospects of establishing a new global security architecture. ☝️ As for Russia, our approaches remain principled and unchanged. I have said it before and will reiterate: we are convinced that the new security architecture must be equal and indivisible — that is, all states must receive firm guarantees of their own security, but not at the expense of the security and interests of other countries. It is vital to make our continent a space of peace and stability, an example of sustainable economic, social, and cultural development. We believe that the foundation for creating such a universal security system could be the existing and well-established multilateral cooperation formats, such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, the Eurasian Economic Union, the Collective Security Treaty Organisation, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and others. Your current meeting is widely attended by states of the Global South and East. It is they, in essence, who form the global majority, seek to influence regional and international processes more actively, and uphold the principle of sovereign equality and the right to their own development model. Undoubtedly, in building joint efforts, it is necessary to rely on positive historical experience, on the lessons of the past. This year marks the 80th Anniversary of the end of #WWII, which fundamentally influenced the development of the international community. The experience of uniting states in the fight against evil, against Nazism and militarism, the understanding of the colossal price humanity paid for peace and freedom, for the right of peoples to choose their own path of development, laid the foundations of the post-war world order and led to the creation of the UN — a universal, legitimate organisation based on the principles of international law, which has helped overcome many geopolitical challenges. Today, it is especially important to preserve the truth about the events of those years, to counter attempts to rewrite history, to cast doubt on the decisive contribution of the peoples of the Soviet Union to the Victory over Hitler’s Germany, and to glorify Nazi criminals and their accomplices. Just recently, on May 9, we solemnly marked the Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The celebrations in Moscow became yet another symbol of unity around the ideals of the Great Victory, demonstrating once again the commitment of our friends and partners to shaping a safer world, to constructive cooperation, and to jointly addressing global challenges. I am convinced that this latest meeting of high representatives overseeing security issues will contribute to the development of new important approaches to strengthening international peace and stability and will help advance dialogue for the benefit of all countries and peoples. I wish you success.

🗓 86 years ago — on August 23, 1939 — the Soviet Union and Germany signed the Non-Aggression Treaty in Moscow. This document was an important achievement of the Soviet diplomacy ahead of #WWII: the USSR was able to buy time to better prepare to repel Hitler’s impending attack, which had been seen as inevitable due to the failed policy of “appeasement” by Western European states and their refusal to forge a collective security agreement with our nation against Nazism. Signing the non-aggression treaty with Germany was a difficult but necessary decision by the Soviet leadership, driven by national security considerations and the urgent need to deter Nazi aggression in the east. *** In the 1930s, twenty years after the end of World War I, the threat of a new large-scale armed conflict in Europe began to grow. A key factor for this was the crisis of the Versailles system of international relations, designed by Britain and France, which paved the way for rising revanchist sentiments in the states it had humiliated — Germany and Italy. With the Nazis’ rise to power in Germany, the threat of a new war in Europe became real. Hitler’s misanthropic ideology was rooted in the notorious doctrine of “racial superiority.” The Nazis used this doctrine to justify Germany’s pursuit of world domination. In this way, an absolute evil emerged at the heart of Europe, endangering the peace and freedom of entire nations. By the mid-1930s, it became evident that another German aggression in Europe was inevitable — it was merely a matter of time. In an effort to counter the rising threat of German revanchism, the Soviet Union suggested the creation of a collective security system in Europe, founded on anti-fascist principles, to unite efforts and deliver a joint response to the common threat. Yet in Paris and London, where anti-Soviet sentiments ran deep, the idea of cooperation with Moscow was rejected as such. Instead, Western powers sought to strike a deal with Germany, aiming to pacify the Germans through unilateral concessions. The political establishments of the West failed to grasp the existential threat posed by Nazi ideology, cynically believing that Hitler’s aggression could be redirected eastward. The “appeasement” tactics whetted the aggressor’s appetite. In March 1938, with the connivance of Paris and London, Hitler carried out the Anschluss of Austria. In September, following the criminal “Munich conspiracy” and with the approval of the UK and France, he cynically dismembered the sovereign state of Czechoslovakia. Warsaw, which was interested in getting part of Czechoslovakia’s territory for itself, prohibited flights of Soviet aircraft to render aid to Czechoslovak army. Already a de facto accomplice of Hitler, Poland had supported every single foreign policy move of the Reich. ❗️A new war in Europe became inevitable. Thus, “appeasement” policy ended in total failure. Attempting to sate the Nazis’ insatiable ambitions, the Western powers failed to restrain the aggressor or thwart its criminal plans. The Soviet Union remained the only European power still striving to organise collective resistance against Nazi Germany. In the spring and summer of 1939, the USSR initiated consultations with France and Britain in Moscow. However, the negotiation process failed to yield practical results — the Western powers that until the last moment hoped for a compromise with Hitler, engaged in secret talks with Germany behind the Soviet Union’s back. 👉The Soviet diplomacy ran out of chances to build a collective security system in Europe. Moscow also had to take into account the Japanese factor — the hostilities on the Khalkhin-Gol that began in May 1939. The Soviet leadership could not afford a war on two fronts. By August 1939, several European nations had concluded non-aggression pacts with Hitler. The Soviet Union was the last major power to follow the suit. As a result, our country gained valuable time to prepare for a clash with the world’s most powerful army at that time. 📖Learn more in our in-depthhistorical feature.

26 мая 1940 года началась Битва за Дюнкерк – одно из известнейших сражений #WWII из-за масштабной эвакуационной операции, развернутой союзниками. В результате прорыва немецких танковых соединений 20 мая 1940 г. войска союзников были отрезаны и прижаты к морю. Историки до сих пор гадают, почему после этого Гитлер приказал немецким танкам остановиться, однако это дало время союзникам организовать спасательную операцию «Динамо». В эвакуации были задействованы морские корабли, пассажирские паромы, рыболовные суда, и даже частные яхты и катера. Образовавшийся флот, который прикрывали британские самолеты, смог вывезти более 300 000 людей. Хотя Уинстон Черчилль в своей известной речи назвал битву за Дюнкерк «колоссальной военной катастрофой», в той же речи он произнес слова, вдохновившие всю Британию: «Мы отстоим наш остров, чего бы это не стоило. Мы будем сражаться на пляжах, мы будем сражаться на вражеских плацдармах, мы будем сражаться в полях и на улицах, мы будем сражаться в холмах; мы никогда не сдадимся».
