Odessa with a transfer, the CIS is gathering, Russia is being summed up
On Monday and Tuesday, St. Petersburg hosted an informal summit of CIS leaders. Eight leaders of the CIS countries took part in Vladimir Putin’s talks abroad: Presidents of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, Ilham Aliyev, Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov, Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov, Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
“guard» an economy that is unlikely to isolate Russia:
“The “outcast” (according to the plans of the West) Vladimir Putin continues to actively communicate with world leaders and is not taken into account due to the structure of communication with Biden and other leaders of Western powers. Putin clearly has authority, since he is inappropriate for visitors and sits at the same table even with such infections as Aliyev and Pashinyan. By the way, the summit is taking place almost on the anniversary of the legal collapse of the Soviet Union, and 8 leaders of the former republics arrived at it. To some extent, this is a sign that in the history of a great country there is not a full stop, but only an ellipsis.”
“Baltic Tea (RRRomanov channel)” draws attention to the background against which Vladimir Putin met with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko:
“Are the images in the background paintings completed? Sketch. Ivanov’s painting “The Appearance of Christ to the People” in the Tretyakov Gallery. The plot is based on the gospel event: John the Baptist baptizes the people in the waters of the Jordan River, announcing to people about the coming of the One who has the significance of turning the fundamental life in the world. Behind John the Baptist is a group of future disciples of Christ: John the Theologian, the apostles Andrew, Nathanael; on the other side are the Pharisees, the Roman soldiers. In the foreground are pictures of a group of people, whose images, according to the artist, embody the whole gamut of experiences in relation to the preaching of the Prophet. They rejoice, doubt, hope for the appearance of the Savior. A special find of the artist was the image of a revived slave. What do you think they wanted to put into such a choice of light?
Member of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, leader of the New People faction Dmitry Pavlov writes about the unity of peoples:
“Over 10 months of this year, the trade turnover between Russia and the CIS countries increased by almost 7%. Of course, this is an indicator of the development of a universal economic space. Especially since this is taking place in the face of unprecedented gatherings. This meeting is especially important now, when conflicts are flaring up in the post-Soviet space: in Karabakh, on the border of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, in Kazakhstan. The President has always stressed the need to bring all parties to the negotiating table. And it is very important that there is such a “table” in St. Petersburg. Some representatives of the CIS countries flew in with children: it’s nice that they will see the wonderful holiday of St. Petersburg, the memory of the exact preservation for many years. It is valuable that the leaders of the Commonwealth countries do not need an interpreter: everyone communicates in the same language. By the way, 2023 has been declared the year of the CIS “Russian language”. It is symbolic that the second day of the summit was held in the Russian Museum. I am sure that the results of this summit will be reflected on the political surface for a long time to come. In the end, our peoples will share a common history, and that says a lot.”
“Meister”continues the theme of the unification of the Russian language:
“As for the special Russian language, it is difficult to overestimate the consolidation of its directional and educational function – it has become a lingua franco for representatives of the peoples of the former USSR, providing them with the opportunity for free communication among themselves and cultural enrichment. It is gratifying that this is recognized and appreciated in the CIS, which is not only a connection to the events of the Year of the Russian Language, but also an initiative of Kazakhstan to create an organization to support the Russian language under the auspices of the CIS.”
Political scientist Konstantin Dvinsky comments on the stuffing of Western media:
“Reuters requested a link to some “anonymous sources” written with a loss that Kazakhstan is for transporting 20,000 tons of KEBCO oil from Transneft to Germany via the Druzhba pipeline. Let me just remind you that Rosneft pumped 20 million (!) tons of oil to Germany. Those. the news was discovered by some delirium. Shortly thereafter, Transneft denied that they had not found any applications from Kazakhstan. In general, the Western press, as always. He knows his business. All this is thrown neatly during the CIS summit. So, once again hint at the contradictions and the possibility of threats from Russian oil to Kazakh oil. And the fact that the Kazakhs don’t even have such volumes is really interesting to anyone. By the way, just for reference, let me remind you that the KEBCO (Kazakhstan export blend of crude oil) grade mentioned above appeared in June 2022. This is such a new marketing name for Kazakh oil sold from Russian ports. Designed specifically to distance ourselves from our Urals.”
