The order of things it's worth repeating at an extistential level " In order to counteract the influence of the USSR in Eastern Europe, the North Atlantic Alliance was created. Only then was the Warsaw Pact formed in response." Much of the cultural ideology here in UK assume's, incorrectly, that it was the other way round.
Then at the humanistic level, he can also express himself so, "The most important thing is the soul's aspiration of what you would like for yourself. I am convinced that there are no areas of effort that would be in vain or unpromising.
Ideally, the profession that a person has chosen becomes his life's work. There are times when, after getting an education, someone realizes that they would like to take a different path. There are all the possibilities for this." WRT the question " Could you give the right words of encouragement to those who are just starting their professional career?"
This is how government functionaries that aren't merely compradors of the evil empire can and should act and speak.
The whole concept of Znanie working with top Russians from all of its sectors in what was actually a massive mentoring session was outlined earlier in my report about Znanie. The process is something that the West can't interfere with, and Russia and friends can only prosper from. This was the first, and there's no coincidence it was timed to occur with National Unity Day.
Gawd! That sort of glitch is a bother since they're the easiest to slip by when I'm fatigued. It's fixed now. Thanks very much for bringing it to my attention.
Hi James. I agree. But what I don't recall having read before is the following:

It seems that he views part of the MFA's mission as helping to create a world in which today's youth would like to live. Sounds good to me (even though few would consider me a youth).
of course it is the youth of today who are going to be those who are leading and shaping the world of tomorrow, so yes - that makes a lot of sense to me as well.. and yes - if we want to create a better world - how do we go about it? it is worth great consideration! thanks..
"If we want to create a better world--how do we go about it?"
Well, the first component would be attaining peace; second, global equity; third, elimination of poverty; fourth, elimination of hegemony; fifth, get the Global Majority to adopt political-economies promoting People Centered Development and Social-Capitalism. Of course, some of these components might be attained before others; but overall, IMO that's the best general program possible.

There is a section in Russian in around the middle of the article.
