Nikolay Malinov: We do not want the world to be divided into lords and slaves

— Dear Participants of the Online Conference, Dedicated to the Multipolarity Theme

Dear Scientists and Public Representatives,

Dear Russophiles,

Thank you for the initiative of the Latin American intellectuals from Brazil, Peru, Nicaragua, Colombia and Argentina, who invited us to be co-organizers of this Conference!

Thanks to everyone who agreed to participate in this Discussion!

Thanks to everyone who made serious organizational efforts to make this event take place!

I am happy that we all will take part in a conversation dedicated to one of the main values of the International Russophile Movement, proclaimed and argued in our founding Manifesto, the «Multipolarity» value.

Each historical process has its own logic. We are sure that we understand this logic correctly! We want to be the subjects of the affirmation and the victory of this logic, and from this point of view we see ourselves as part of the forces of human progress!

What struggle are we participating?

We do not want the world to be divided into lords and slaves. We do not want one country or one center of civilization to dictate the rules of world coexistence, we are against the fact that the identity of the peoples of the world is attacked, crushed and destroyed, so that peoples are fused into a kind of conglomerate, that serves the interests and dreams of the global elite. After all, we object to one civilizational center defining the meaning of words, deciding who is «progressive» and who is «reactionary», who is an «aggressor» and who is a «victim», who is «civilized» and who is not, » who represents the interests of the people” and who does not, who is “democratic” and who is not.

When we say that Multipolarity is our value, what we really want is to recognize the equal right of all peoples and cultures to go their own way, to build their own socio- political, economic and cultural systems…

In fact, from a geopolitical point of view, politicians can be divided into two groups.

The first one, which for decades has been dominating and imposing its own vision of the world and its own rules, are those who want to solve political and economic problems by force. Coercion is their weapon, sanctions their language, the weakness of this or that people is their goal. This mentality is what they call today’s «world order».

The other group includes the politicians of peace who want mutual respect among nations, mutual tolerance, common security, respect for diversity, recognition of the right of everyone to determine their own path, their values, their dreams.

This is our conversation today. It takes the creative effort of multipolarists to imagine this coming, new and better world order, to propose its contours and formulate ideological principles — beyond the obsessive dominant and imposed by the force ideologies.

The conference that we are conducting today is devoted to these efforts, this dream, this determination!

And we are convinced, dear participants in this multinational Meeting that historical justice is on our side and that in the end the world, if it survives, will be the way we see it — diverse and based on cooperation!

Best wishes for a successful Conference!
