Thanks for the handy extracts in english - I have followed Russian speeches as best I could over the years especially Putin's who I greatly respect. I cannot stand the ways these people are verballed and misrepresented in the west by both the journalists, the media in general and the politicians.

I wish Putin, Lavrov and Zakharova could find many more effective avenues to present their ideas and knowledge to the western polity. Though suspect it is impossible, and will remain so for a long time to come. Their websites take too long to provide english translations - which are generally more accurate then the machine alternatives as well.

At least you are doing your bit for a long time, (it does help and well done) it's just such a shame the audience in the West/OECD and global south regions is so small and those who might catch these items are typically already aware of where people like Zakharova are coming from anyway.

I look at people like Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi and Aaron Mate etc who spoke up about Russiagate and Intel agency interference in social media censorship but they never report on what the Russians and Chinese and others are really saying to people in the west. It's very disappointing, helps no one.

Incredibly articulate woman, well positioned.

She would do well in any US Congressional or UN sessions, not that they have not made up their minds already.
