President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Citizens of Russia, friends,
Tomorrow, March 15, the polling stations will open across our vast country, and the three-day voting in the presidential election will begin.
Today, the total and comprehensive militarisation of the country, state, and people is vitally necessary.
Mr President, when delivering your Address [to the Federal Assembly], you were figuratively pulling trillion by trillion out of your sleeve. As a matter of fact, you proposed an absolutely astonishing plan of the country’s development, truly astonishing. That will be a different Russia, with a completely new infrastructure and social system – nothing short of a dreamland.
We will continue to work together with our allies, partners and like-minded persons from Global South and Eastern states for the sake of forging a more equitable multipolar world order that would reflect the cultural and civilisational diversity of the world. It would also aim to ensure the entire humanity’s well-being and prosperity, rather than those of certain representatives of elites from the countries of the Golden Billion alone.
On February 29, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered an address to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.
The West has racistly and imperialistically identified itself with humanity. There was a time when Britain claimed all seas and oceans as its own. Western civilisation declared all of humanity its property — primarily its consciousness. This led to the formation of a unipolar world.
The primary purpose of every Address to the Federal Assembly is to offer a forward-looking perspective. Today, we will discuss not only our short-term plans, but also our strategic objectives and matters which, I believe, are instrumental in ensuring steady long-term development for our country.
The French historian Braudel once said: 'In history the cards are not often redrawn, but they are dealt anyway'. But I would add: 'The winner is the one who holds the winning cards'. This is the period 1967-1973, this is the distribution of the cards in history. Apparently, the same deal must be made now. It must be said that the Soviet leadership from '67 to '73 missed this deal. Not only did they fail to seize the trump. They exchanged, roughly, gold for the glass beads the West gave them.
Everyone understands that on the fronts of the Special Military Operation (SMO), a new elite of Russia is being forged. This is the estate of bravery (Hegel), which is to reboot the state. It is clear that the war heroes at the front are already divided into future strata: pure warriors, commanders, inventors, creators, strategists, economists.
Contemporary social science in Russia needs to catch up in understanding the changes occurring in the country and in forming a sovereign worldview, and it needs to be accelerated, philosopher Alexander Dugin told journalists at the 5th Congress of the Russian Society of Political Scientists in Svetlogorsk (Kaliningrad region).
