Interesting; the foreign policy of the Russian Federation is not that different from that of the former Soviet Union, no wonder the West hates Russia!

Inerms of the use of 'propaganda' or 'diplomacy' regarding the Palestine issue. I thought the actual wording used by Mr Lavrov was quite telling, both in terms of Russia's intended neutrality/legality and it's resolve to displace the usual suspect's and their longterm fudging of the issue. However it could be me just reading too much into diplomatic speechifying?

"... the Iranian leadership is taking a responsible, balanced position and is calling for preventing this conflict from spreading to the entire region and neighbouring countries. We will achieve this in our contacts with the Palestinians, other Arab colleagues, and Israelis."

[It 's the final sentence - my emphasis ;o)]
