  2. Conservatism, dogmatic nationalistic religiousity and paternal traditionalism is what the Russian world looks like. This is your holy mecca of white people living conservative lives.

  4. Italy prepares new foreign policy doctrine based on “Roman Empire” to “protect, safeguard and advance the traditions and ideals of the Italo-Roman World”

  7. To be fair, invading and massacring other countries is a pretty long-standing Russian tradition

  8. Advance traditions? That’s a funny way of putting it. The whole point of traditions is that they don’t advance. They’re literally retardations.

  10. >Putin called the task of humanitarian policy the protection of “the ideals of the Russian world”
    The Concept of Humanitarian Policy of Russia Abroad stipulated the need to promote Russian culture, form a positive image of Russia in foreign audiences and develop humanitarian cooperation with other countries.
    President Vladimir Putin approved the concept of Russia’s humanitarian policy abroad. The corresponding decree lists Moscow’s national interests in this area:
    Protecting “traditional Russian spiritual and moral values.”
    Familiarization of the international community with the historical and cultural heritage of Russia;
    mutual enrichment of cultures of the peoples of Russia and other countries;
    development of international humanitarian cooperation “on a fair, mutual, open and non-discriminatory basis”.

    The concept states that humanitarian policy abroad is an integral part of foreign policy, and culture plays a special role in it. Russian culture is an important part of world culture, and in order to promote it it it is necessary to organize the celebration of Russian memorable dates abroad, promote Russian cinema in foreign markets, participate in international book fairs, create conditions for dialogue and exchange of experience between specialists in culture, business and government.
    Culture as a tool of “soft power” helps to strengthen Russia’s international standing and neutralize “anti-Russian sentiments of political and ideological origin. In implementing the concept, it is necessary to take into account “the increasing number of attempts to downplay the significance of Russian culture and Russian humanitarian projects” and to replace “pseudo-values” with traditions and “ideals of the Russian world,” the document stresses. The protection, preservation, and promotion of the traditions and ideals of the Russian world are listed in the concept as one of the goals of humanitarian policy abroad. Other goals include:
    Strengthening the role of the Russian language in the modern world;
    popularizing Russia’s achievements in culture, science, sports and information technology;
    increasing the competitiveness of Russian education and using it to expand humanitarian influence in Russia;
    increase of Russia’s tourist attractiveness;
    “promotion of the advantages of the federal structure of the Russian state, which recognizes the equal dignity of the cultures of all peoples living on its territory,” and others.

    Russia must also support compatriots living abroad, develop international youth cooperation, participate in international organizations (develop interaction with the CIS, UNESCO and other associations, including within the UN), preserve cultural and historical heritage (for example, we must “work actively” to suppress attempts to rewrite the history of World War II and belittle the role of the Soviet people in the victory). It is necessary to develop bilateral humanitarian cooperation, and here the priority is to deepen contacts, including with Abkhazia, South Ossetia, the DNR and LNR, as well as with Slavic countries. One of the areas of bilateral humanitarian cooperation is “balanced mutually beneficial” cooperation with Western European states. The concept also mentions relations with Asian countries – dynamically developing cooperation with China and prospects for its development with Japan “in view of the great demand for Russian culture” in that country. “Special attention” requires the development of humanitarian cooperation with Middle Eastern countries.

  12. Shills are still going to parrot bollocks about Russia opposing imperialism when the fuckers just released Generalplan Ost 2.0.

    Looking at you, Irish cat-piss lady.

  13. Russian here. You can read the whole doctrine translation in my other post.

    Interestingly enough, the whole doctrine is based on the ideas of soft power and promoting Russian culture, science, language, international cooperation and so on. It’s quite surreal. For example:

    ​

    >strengthening the role of the Russian language in the modern world

    Expect that by starting a war it is quickly becoming quite an unpopular language. Besides, why would you study Russian if there is so little interaction between Russia and outside world?

    >
    popularizing Russia’s achievements in culture, science, sports, and information technology;

    ​

    Same thing, after the war the Russian sportsmen were excluded from all international competitions.

    >
    increasing the competitiveness of Russian education and using it to expand humanitarian influence in Russia;

    By, I assume, introducing propaganda lessons, quitting the Bologna Process that ensured standard BSc/MSc degrees across the world, and removing any grants for students studying abroad

    >
    increase of Russia’s tourist attractiveness

    First, it’s impossible to fly there unless on a 16 hour flight with a transit in Instanbul or Dubai. Second, if the whole developed world is officially considered as “unfriendly nations”, why would the tourists fly there?

    >
    promoting the advantages of the federal structure of the Russian state, which recognizes the equal dignity of the cultures of all peoples living on its territory

    Yeah, no comments here. Chechens are surely as equal as the others.

    ​

    Overall, I it sounds like a worthless set of ideas that Putin will never pursue, because it goes against everything he was, is, and will (likely) be doing.
