"No one will ever be able to dictate to our people what kind of society and on what principles we should build".
Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia «The direct threat to the political, economic, ideological monopoly of the West is that alternative social models may arise in the world. More effective, I want to emphasize this, more effective today, bright, attractive than those that exist.» «If earlier only a few countries were allowed to argue with the same America, and it looked almost like a sensation, now it is already commonplace when various states refuse Washington its unfounded demands, despite the fact that it is still trying to put pressure on everyone» .»It has not been and will never be possible to deploy and implement such a scenario in relation to Russia (destruction or turning into a tool to achieve someone else's goals. — Note ed.)».

Ohameli «They are preparing and carrying out all sorts of coups. Here is one of them that led to the tragic events in Ukraine in 2014. They supported it. They said how much money they spent on this coup. In general, they simply went crazy. They are not shy about anything.»
" ; Erroneous policy (USA. — Approx. ed.) Absolutely, simply nowhere. Let. This is also their choice. I am convinced that the peoples of the world will not turn a blind eye to the policy of coercion, which has discredited itself, and each time the West will have to pay more and more for trying to maintain its hegemony".
Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia «All adults are here: most of you present in this hall understand what I am talking about. We know that this is exactly what happened in practice. Financial, political, informational support. We all experienced it. Moreover, he not only actively supported the terrorists on the territory of Russia, but also in many ways nurtured this thunderstorm. due to inflation in the dollar and euro zone, and then completely — tsap-scratch — they pocketed our gold and foreign exchange reserves. Thus, the capture of markets and resources takes place, countries are deprived of their technological, scientific potential. This is not progress, but enslavement, reducing economies to a primitive level. «

Negotiations are inevitable
"I have always believed and believe in this power of common sense, therefore I am convinced that sooner or later new centers of a multipolar world order, and the West will have to start an equal conversation about our common future. And the sooner the better, of course".
Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia «Confidence in one's infallibility is a very dangerous state, one step from it to the desire of the «infallible» themselves to simply destroy those they do not like, as they say, «cancel». Let's at least think about the meaning of this word: even in the midst of the Cold War, at the peak of the confrontation between systems, ideologies and military rivalry, it never occurred to anyone to deny the very existence of culture, art, science of other peoples and their opponents.
"In the current conditions of a tough conflict, I will say a few things directly: Russia, being an independent, original civilization, has never considered and does not consider itself an enemy of the West. Americanophobia, Anglophobia, Francophobia, Germanophobia are the same forms of racism as Russophobia and anti-Semitism, however, as well as any manifestations of xenophobia".
Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia «Respect for the peculiarities of peoples and civilizations is in the interests of everyone. In fact, this is also in the interests of the so-called West: losing superiority, it quickly turns into a minority on the world stage, and, of course, the right of this Western minority to its own cultural identity «, I want to emphasize this, must be ensured. This must be treated with respect, but, I emphasize, on an equal footing with the rights of everyone else.»
"Multipolarity is the only chance for Europe to restore its political and economic subjectivity&# 34;.
Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia»If Western elites believe that they can instill in the minds of their people, their societies, strange, in my opinion, but newfangled trends like a dozen genders and gay parades, so be it, let them do what they want! But what they definitely have no right to do is require others to follow in the same direction.»

Systemic and doctrinal crises «In recent years — and especially in recent months — the West has taken a number of steps to escalate. Well, in fact, they always play to escalate. There is nothing new here anymore. This is incitement of war in Ukraine, these are provocations around Taiwan, destabilizing the global food and energy markets.»
"The latter, of course, was not done on purpose — there is no doubt about it — but due to a number of system errors. These are just those Western authorities that I mentioned. Plus, the destruction of pan-European gas pipelines. This is generally a transcendent thing, but nevertheless, we are witnessing these sad events.
Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia «In the modern world, it is hardly possible to sit out. He who sows the wind, as they say, will reap a whirlwind. The crisis has really acquired a global character: it affects everyone, there is no need to harbor any illusions. There are, in fact, two ways before humanity: either further accumulate a load of problems that will inevitably crush us all, or all together try to find solutions — albeit not ideal, but working, capable of making our world more stable and more secure. «
October 25, 08:00The West blessed Kyiv for a nuclear provocationNot an alliance, but a conglomerate»The so-called West is conditional, of course: there is no unity there, everything is clear that this is a very complex conglomerate, but nevertheless, let's just say that this West in recent years — and especially in recent months — has taken a number of steps towards aggravation. «
"Simplification, the erasure of all and any differences have become almost the essence of the modern West. What is behind this simplification? First of all, this is the disappearance of the creative potential of the West itself and the desire to restrain, block the free development of other civilizations. There is also a direct, mercantile, of course, interest".
Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia»The West claims that it is its culture and its worldview that should be universal. If they don't say it directly, that's how they behave In fact, their policy insists that these values be unconditionally accepted by all other participants in international communication.October 18, 08:00 Not only the Saudis: the United States is losing another key country of the Islamic worldEra of Eurasia»A direct threat to the political, economic, ideological monopoly of the West is that alternative social models may arise in the world. More effective, I want to emphasize this, more effective in today's day, brighter, more attractive than those that are.»
"They (USA. — Ed.) have no ideas of creating positive development, they simply have nothing to offer the world, except to maintain their dominance. I am convinced that real democracy in a multipolar world first of all presupposes the possibility of any people, I want to emphasize this, any society, any civilization to choose their own path, their own social and political system".
Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia «I am convinced that the peoples of the world will not turn a blind eye to the policy of coercion, which has discredited itself, and every time the West will have to pay and pay more and more for trying to maintain its hegemony. In the place of these Western elites, I would seriously think about such a prospect «.
"We are at a historical turning point. Ahead is probably the most dangerous, unpredictable, and at the same time important decade since the end of the Second World War."Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia «Naturally, its western tip, Europe, could also be part of greater Eurasia. But many of its leaders are hindered by the conviction that Europeans are better than others. That it is not appropriate for them to participate in some undertakings on an equal footing with the rest.» «Russia believes it is important to actively launch the mechanisms for creating large spaces built on the interaction of neighboring countries, whose economy, social system, resource base, infrastructure complement each other.Such large spaces, in fact, are the basis of a multipolar world order, the economic foundation. the true unity of humanity, much more complex, distinctive and multidimensional than in the simplified ideas of Western ideologists, well, some Western ideologists. 08:00American hegemony is coming to an end: what will the new world be like «Hand» of the Kremlin «Now they have reached the point of absurdity, when any alternative an affirmative point of view is declared subversive, propaganda and a threat to democracy. That's what comes out of Russia — it's all the machinations of the Kremlin. Well, look at yourself, are we really so omnipotent?» «Any criticism of our opponents is perceived as the machinations of the Kremlin, the» hand «of the Kremlin. This is some kind of nonsense, what have they sunk to? At least move your brains, state something more interesting, state your point of view somehow conceptually. You can't blame everything on the «intrigues» of the Kremlin.
