2. Eleven Forums and Eurasian Youth

Лавров на всех одиннадцати ВЭФ; Евразия — континент цивилизаций, молодёжь должна впитывать историю.

Lavrov has attended all eleven Eastern Economic Forums and sees the event growing in participants and topics. Youth matters especially: Eurasia is the fastest-growing, richest and most populated continent, home to several millennial civilizations — Russian multinational, Indian, Chinese, Ottoman, Persian and others — that keep their identity.

Я посетил все 11 мероприятий под этой вывеской.
I have visited all eleven events under this banner.
Евразия, наш общий континент, самый быстрорастущий, самый богатый, самый населённый континент, на котором … несколько величайших цивилизаций.
Eurasia, our common continent, the fastest-growing, richest and most populated continent, on which … several greatest civilizations.

3. Identity and Openness Through Russian History

Сопричастность предкам и открытость миру — сквозная черта российской истории.

Without a sense of belonging to what ancestors defended, national belonging is hard to keep; openness to the world has remained a distinctive trait from pre-imperial times through Peter, the Soviet Union and contemporary Russia.

Без ощущения сопричастности к тому, что делали наши предки … очень трудно сохранить свою национальную принадлежность.
Without a sense of belonging to what our ancestors did … it is very hard to preserve one's national belonging.
Это было отличительной чертой во все времена для нашей страны … и во времена Советского Союза, и во времена нынешней современной России.
This was a distinctive trait at all times for our country … both in the Soviet Union and in today's contemporary Russia.

4. VEF Guests and the West's Withdrawal

Азиатские лидеры; Япония и Южная Корея — пока Запад не отказался от нормальных отношений.

Leaders of India, China, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar and others have attended; so have Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Laos and Thailand. In years when the West had not yet abandoned normal relations, Japan and South Korea came too. Business guests now reach South America, Africa and the Middle East.

Он привлекает гостей из самых разных стран, в том числе и лидеры Индии, Китая, Малайзии, Монголии, Мьянмы.
It attracts guests from the most varied countries, including leaders of India, China, Malaysia, Mongolia and Myanmar.
В те годы, когда Запад ещё не отказался от нормальных отношений с нашей страной, здесь были и лидеры … Японии и Южной Кореи.
In those years when the West had not yet abandoned normal relations with our country, leaders of … Japan and South Korea were also here.

5. Big Eurasian Partnership — SCO, EAEU, ASEAN

ШОС, ЕАЭС, АСЕАН и межплатформенная кооперация; концепция 2023 года.

Russia builds multilateral Eurasian cooperation on equality, mutual benefit and honest dialogue — SCO (after the Bishkek summit), the EAEU and ASEAN — with memoranda among secretaries-general to harmonise programmes. Contacts continue with the Asia Cooperation Dialogue, BRICS, and UNESCAP. Putin named this the Greater Eurasian Partnership a decade ago at the first Russia–ASEAN summit; it is now fixed in the March 2023 Foreign Policy Concept, open to all Eurasian states.

Мы выстраиваем наше многостороннее сотрудничество на Евразийском континенте … на принципах равноправия, взаимной выгоды и честного диалога.
We are building our multilateral cooperation on the Eurasian continent … on the principles of equality, mutual benefit and honest dialogue.
И вот это … межплатформенная кооперация … составляет существо того, что президент Путин назвал большим евразийским партнёрством.
And this … cross-platform cooperation … constitutes the substance of what President Putin called the Greater Eurasian Partnership.

6. Walls, Ditches and an Invented Enemy

Рвы на границе ЕС; без образа врага-России западные правительства снесут избиратели; умолять об отмене санкций Россия не будет.

God-given continental advantages were long held back by Western policy that now tries even more fiercely to split Eurasia — walls and hundred-metre ditches on EU borders with Russia. NATO and EU governments need an enemy; if the artificial image of Russia vanished, most of those governments would be swept away by voters. Russia builds no walls; Europe closed itself off. There will be no begging for sanctions relief.

Они физически выстраивают … стены на границе стран Евросоюза с Российской Федерацией. Роют рвы стометровой ширины.
They physically build … walls on the border of EU countries with the Russian Federation. They dig ditches a hundred metres wide.
Если этот искусственно созданный образ врага в лице России исчезнет, то подавляющее большинство правительств в Евросоюзе, в странах НАТО просто снесут избиратели.
If this artificially created enemy image in the person of Russia disappears, the overwhelming majority of governments in the EU and NATO countries will simply be swept away by voters.

7. Europe's Five Hundred Years and Merz's "Again"

Колониализм, санкции, неонацизм; шок от слов Мерца о главной военной силе Европы «снова».

For more than five hundred years Europe was the main source of humanity's disasters — two world wars and today's sanctions binge to defend hegemony. Europe never lived by its own means: colonialism, slavery, then sanctions for Russia's defence of people oppressed by the Nazi regime in Ukraine. Lavrov was stunned when Chancellor Merz said he would make Germany Europe's main military power again — if Merz does not grasp what "again" means, that is dangerous for Europe.

Европа … в течение … более 500 лет была главным источником всех бед … человечества.
Europe … for … more than 500 years was the main source of all the misfortunes … of humanity.
Когда канцлер Мерц заявил, что он сделает Германию главной военной силой в Европе, снова … я просто был ошарашен.
When Chancellor Merz declared that he would make Germany the main military force in Europe again … I was simply stunned.

8. ASEAN Centrality Versus Western Dictate

Консенсус Восточноазиатских саммитов; Запад подменил дипломатию санкциями.

Russia is a strategic partner of ASEAN; the East Asia Summit rests on inclusivity and equal rights. The West dislikes consensus formats because it still wants to dictate. Diplomacy is about agreeing — Lavrov calls it the oldest profession, since even the one traditionally so named required agreement first — while the West has substituted sanctions for diplomacy.

Запад не любит структуры, где он должен быть частью консенсуса.
The West does not like structures where it must be part of a consensus.
Дипломатия — древнейшая профессия … А Запад хочет не договариваться, а диктовать.
Diplomacy is the oldest profession … And the West wants not to agree, but to dictate.

9. AUKUS, Quad and Closed Blocs Against China and Russia

Закрытые тройки и четвёрки против центральной роли АСЕАН; цель — Китай и заодно Россия.

Closed threes and fours — AUKUS nuclear submarines for Australia under incomplete IAEA standards; the Quad (US, Japan, Australia, India), which India joined for economic potential but Western members push toward military anti-China games; a second Quad with the Philippines to split ASEAN; and other Indo-Pacific fours — aim to undercut ASEAN centrality and contain China, with Russia as China's closest strategic partner held back alongside.

Есть AUKUS, США, Британия, Австралия … программа создания атомных подводных лодок для Австралии.
There is AUKUS — the US, Britain, Australia … a programme to create nuclear submarines for Australia.
Стратегическая цель сдерживания Китайской Народной Республики … не скрывается, и заодно сдерживание России.
The strategic goal of containing the People's Republic of China … is not concealed, and containing Russia along with it.

10. NATO Into Asia and an Indo-Pacific Treaty Idea

Тайваньский пролив как «угроза» территориям НАТО; идея индо-тихоокеанского договора.

Asked why NATO enters Southeast and Northeast Asia when the Washington Treaty is about defending members' territories, Stoltenberg answered that threats to those territories now come from the Taiwan Strait and Southeast Asia. An American congressional draft for an "Indo-Pacific Treaty Organization" would reproduce NATO mentality in the region. The US–Japan–ROK triangle also grows military and potential nuclear cooperation despite Trump's cuts to some exercises.

Сегодня угрозы нашим территориям исходят из тайваньского пролива, из Юго-Восточной Азии.
Today threats to our territories come from the Taiwan Strait, from Southeast Asia.
Они сейчас изобрели концепцию организации индо-тихоокеанского договора.
They have now invented the concept of an Indo-Pacific Treaty Organization.

11. Multipolarity and Africa's Second Awakening

Китай, Индия, Бразилия; кофейный пример Мусевени — сырьё против добавленной стоимости.

New centres of growth — China, India, Brazil, Russia — make multipolarity unstoppable. Africa, politically free since the 1960s, now rejects the colonial raw-materials model. At the second Russia–Africa summit Uganda's Museveni noted a world coffee market of some €450 billion of which Africa keeps about €50 billion; Africa wants processing at home.

★ Multipolarity Бороться с этой многополярностью — это тенденция, которую не остановить.
To fight this multipolarity — that is a tendency that cannot be stopped.
Мировой рынок кофе … где-то оценивается 450 млрд евро … из которых в Африке остаётся 50.
The world coffee market … is valued somewhere at 450 billion euros … of which 50 remain in Africa.

12. China and India — Trade, Commissions, Nuclear, RIK

Товарооборот, комиссии, АЭС, восстановление тройки Примакова как ядра БРИКС.

China: comprehensive strategic partnership; presidents met again on the SCO Bishkek sidelines; trade past $200 billion for a fifth year, with $250 not a ceiling. India: trade from just over $10 billion to about $60 billion. Five intergovernmental commissions with China plus annual premiers' meetings; nuclear power with Rosatom; joint work on a Bangladesh plant. Primakov's 1998 Russia–India–China (RIK) format, paused by COVID, is being restored and was the core that became BRICS.

Уже, по-моему, пятый год подряд товарооборот вышел за рамку в 200 млрд долларов.
Already, I think, for a fifth year running trade turnover has gone beyond the 200-billion-dollar mark.
Ещё Евгений Максимович Примаков … в 98 году … запустил формат, который называется РИК, Россия, Индия, Китай.
Yevgeny Maximovich Primakov … in '98 … launched the format called RIK — Russia, India, China.

13. Eurasian Security for Ordinary People

Спокойствие для людей; консенсус против ультиматумов НАТО и ЕС.

If Putin's Eurasian security initiative is realised, ordinary people get calm, safety and freedom from Western punishment of those who refuse to obey. NATO, the EU and the OSCE are fading as frameworks; universal consensus formats are Russia's alternative — slower to agree, but more durable than ultimatums.

Если реализуется та инициатива, которую президент Путин выдвинул по евразийской безопасности, это даст обычным людям ощущение спокойствия, безопасности, комфорта.
If the initiative President Putin advanced on Eurasian security is realised, it will give ordinary people a sense of calm, security and comfort.
Достигнутые решения путём консенсуса … гораздо долговечнее, чем то, что навязано в приказном порядке.
Decisions reached by consensus … are far more durable than what is imposed by order.

14. Leipzig Drone — Bonn Consulate and Russian House Closed

Закрытие генконсульства в Бонне и Русского дома; зеркально — институты Гёте.

A drone found in Leipzig "resembling" Russian ones — an assumption, not a proven conclusion — became the pretext to close Russia's last general consulate in Bonn and the Russian House cultural centre in Berlin. Goethe Institutes in Moscow, St Petersburg and Yekaterinburg will close in reciprocity; otherwise Russia would not respect itself.

Они приняли официальное решение закрыть наше последнее … генеральное консульство в Бонне и закрыть русский дом.
They took an official decision to close our last … general consulate in Bonn and to close the Russian House.
Конечно, они будут закрыты после того, как наш культурный центр оттуда выгнали. … Иначе мы себя не будем уважать сами.
Of course they will be closed after our cultural centre was expelled from there. … Otherwise we would not respect ourselves.

15. Germany Chooses Émigrés Over Open Culture

Германия выбирает влияние через эмигрантов-агентов, а не открытые гуманитарные связи.

Berlin knowingly traded open cultural channels for support of "runaways" — foreign agents who fled not merely from disagreement with protecting Russians in Ukraine but to continue subversion abroad, including exile "governments." Germany again tries to subordinate others and suppress normal ties with Russia.

Они сделали для себя окончательный выбор в пользу того, чтобы влиять … через накачивание наших беглых.
They made a final choice for themselves in favour of influencing … by pumping up our runaways.
Германия вновь пытается … подмять под себя всех остальных.
Germany is again trying … to crush everyone else under itself.

16. EU Migration, Ukrainian Subsidies and Lost Economic Edge

Пособия украинцам выше своих безработных; промышленность бежит в США.

The EU's wide-open doors made migrant majorities and non-local mayors a domestic problem; Ukrainian refugees often receive benefits exceeding unemployment support for citizens, breeding protest. Energy prices near €800 after abandoning Russian gas and swallowing Nord Stream sabotage complete the self-inflicted wound; industry flees to the US.

Украинские граждане … получают субсидии и пособия, которые значительно превышают … пособие по безработице … для своих собственных граждан.
Ukrainian citizens … receive subsidies and benefits that significantly exceed … unemployment benefit … for their own citizens.
Цена на бирже сжиженного природного газа … под 800 евро. А они у нас покупали … минимум в три раза дешевле.
The exchange price of liquefied natural gas … is approaching 800 euros. And they used to buy from us … at least three times cheaper.

17. "Führer Ursula," European Values and Alaska on the Church

Фон дер Ляйен о страдании ради ценностей; Трамп не поверил запрету УПЦ.

Von der Leyen said voters must suffer higher energy prices so Ukrainians defend "European values." If banning Russian language and the canonical Orthodox Church are European values, Europe is invited back into Nazism. At Anchorage on 15 August 2025 Putin described Zelensky's regime; Trump startled when told the church was banned and asked Rubio, who confirmed — yet Washington never signalled Kyiv to restore language or church.

Мы обязаны страдать ради того, чтобы украинский народ отстаивал наши европейские ценности.
We are obliged to suffer so that the Ukrainian people defend our European values.
Марк, что правда, они религию запретили? Он говорит: «Да … запретили».
Mark, is it true they banned religion? He says: "Yes … they banned it.

18. Language and Religion Are Not Bargaining Chips

Устав ООН и конституция Украины; права не пакет переговоров.

Rights to language and religion cannot be conditioned on negotiations. UN Charter Article 1 requires respect regardless of race, sex, language and religion; Ukraine's constitution still guarantees Russian minority rights while laws contradict both. Westerners say these issues will enter a talks agenda — Lavrov rejects that.

Есть вещи, которые нельзя обусловливать. И языка, религии … одна из таких вещей.
There are things that cannot be made conditional. And language, religion … are among such things.
В уставе ООН записано в первой статье: «Все обязаны уважать права человека независимо от расы, пола, языка и религии».
In the UN Charter it is written in the first article: "All are obliged to respect human rights regardless of race, sex, language and religion.

19. June 2024 Tasks — Demilitarisation, Denazification, Reunification

Демилитаризация, денацификация, воссоединение; границы 1991 нереалистичны.

Putin's June 2024 MFA speech set SVO tasks: demilitarise the regime, denazify Ukraine, and reunite historical territories that Soviet decisions placed inside the Ukrainian SSR. Neo-Nazi radicals captured the post-Soviet Ukraine. Trump speaks of realities on the ground; Europe insists on 1991 borders — unreal for any serious politician.

★ Denazification Он изложил задачи … демилитаризация режима, денацификация Украины и … воссоединение с Россией тех наших исторических территорий.
He set out the tasks … demilitarisation of the regime, denazification of Ukraine and … reunification with Russia of those historical territories of ours.
Разве какой-то реалистичный политик может сейчас говорить, что надо решить украинскую проблему путём восстановления Украины в границах 1991 года?
Can any realistic politician now say that the Ukrainian problem must be solved by restoring Ukraine within the 1991 borders?

20. Independence Conditions Thrown on the Scrap Heap

Внеблоковость и безъядерность перечёркнуты; ЕС — подспорье НАТО.

Russia recognised Ukraine on its independence declaration — neutral, non-bloc, non-nuclear. Zelensky mourns giving up nukes; non-bloc status is forgotten; NATO membership is demanded. Trump said forget NATO; Secretary General Rutte still calls Ukraine a natural future NATO member. The EU has become an openly aggressive anti-Russian military adjunct of NATO.

Украина будет независимой, нейтральной, внеблоковой безядерной державой. Все вот эти принципы уже перечёркнуты.
Ukraine would be an independent, neutral, non-bloc, non-nuclear power. All these principles have already been crossed out.
Евросоюз … превратился в откровенно агрессивный антироссийский военный блок — подспорье НАТО.
The European Union … has turned into an openly aggressive anti-Russian military bloc — a prop for NATO.

21. Writing Verse Under Pressure — the MGIMO Hymn

Образы с 16 лет; гимн без нотной грамоты звучит 1 сентября.

Asked how he finds time for poetry in a 24/7 aggressive environment, Lavrov says images that want paper have been with him since sixteen. He wrote words and music for the MGIMO hymn without reading notation — sung and later performed; it sounds every 1 September.

У меня ещё с юного возраста, с 16 лет формировались какие-то образы, которые ложились на рифму.
From a young age, from sixteen, certain images formed in me that fell into rhyme.
Гимн МГИМО я написал и слова, и музыку, хотя я не знаю нотной грамоты.
I wrote the MGIMO hymn — both words and music — though I do not know musical notation.

22. Classics, Family and Return from Bologna Experiments

Возврат к лучшим традициям советской школы; благодарность маме.

Existentially, recognising that all are given life with equal rights is a base for a decent person. Upbringing starts in the family. After Western-leaning Bologna experiments, Russia is returning to the viable core of the Soviet school — without idealising every tradition — so students can take in information and art and draw their own conclusions. He will not pick one book over another among Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Pushkin and Gogol; thanks go first to his mother.

Сейчас мы всё-таки возвращаемся к лучшим традициям советской школы образования.
Now we are after all returning to the best traditions of the Soviet school of education.
Я прежде всего благодарен своей маме. Я думаю, мамы играют решающую роль в формировании нас как людей.
I am grateful first of all to my mother. I think mothers play the decisive role in forming us as people.

23. Which Language to Learn — and Russia's Non-Colonial Empire

Китайский, английский, французский; народы России не были колониальной провинцией.

Many now study Chinese. English will keep global utility — colonial legacy and convenience, official in India among many peoples. French plays a similar role in Africa. Russian as inter-ethnic language (official in Kyrgyzstan) is a great asset. Unlike colonial empires, peoples of Russia and the USSR were never colonial provinces.

Сейчас многие изучают китайский язык.
Many are now studying Chinese.
Никогда у нас народности … не были на положении колониальной провинции.
Never were our peoples … in the position of a colonial province.

24. Biden in Geneva — Melting Pot Versus Multinational Roots

Плавильный котёл США против многонациональных корней России; пожелание здоровья Путину.

At the June 2021 Geneva meeting Biden, without notes, told Putin Americans are a migrant melting-pot nation while Russia grew roots on its land and spread statehood while preserving languages, cultures and religions of joined peoples — a greatest achievement, hard to govern as a nuclear state. He wished Putin health and denied interest in Russia's destabilisation. Lavrov treats that as rare Western recognition of Russian interests.

Мы американцы — это нации мигрантов … А вы нация, которая проросла корнями на той земле, где вы сейчас находитесь.
We Americans are nations of migrants … And you are a nation that put down roots on the land where you now are.
Вы сохраняли их языки, их культуру, их традиции, их религии. И отсюда появился вот ваш многонациональный народ.
You preserved their languages, their culture, their traditions, their religions. And from that came your multinational people.

25. Pre-Election Destabilisation and Rubio on Deep Strikes

Дестабилизация перед Думой; удары вглубь как «приближение переговоров».

Ahead of Duma elections, with Lavrov on United Russia's top five, the West openly tries to undermine society via émigré structures and diplomatic provocations. Rubio said at NATO/G7 that deep strikes into Russia bring Moscow closer to talks. Lavrov asked him in Manila how one can openly encourage terrorism; Rubio framed it as wanting talks sooner — though talks already began at Anchorage a year earlier.

Мы понимаем значение ударов вглубь российской территории, потому что это приближает готовность России сесть за стол переговоров.
We understand the significance of strikes deep into Russian territory, because that brings closer Russia's readiness to sit at the negotiating table.
Как вы так можете поощрять терроризм активно?
How can you so actively encourage terrorism?

26. Anchorage — Proposal, Handshake, West's Oral Culture

Принятие пакета США; устные и даже письменные обещания НАТО обесценены Западом.

Americans built initiatives from realities on the ground, including referendums fixed in Russia's constitution; Putin accepted the US package. A merchant handshake is sacred in Russian character; the West treated oral no-NATO-expansion promises and even the 1999 OSCE written non-domination pledge as non-binding. Europe and Zelensky then pulled Trump away from Alaska.

Ударили по рукам — слово купеческое, всё договорились.
They struck hands — a merchant's word, everything agreed.
Ну это политическая декларация, а это не юридически обязывающий документ.
Well, that is a political declaration, and that is not a legally binding document.

27. Navalny Samples and the Leipzig Double Standard

Немцы не показывают анализы бундесвера, но «узнают» российский дрон в Лейпциге.

Germany asserts the Leipzig drone is Russian without proof, yet still withholds Bundeswehr clinic analyses from autumn 2020 that supposedly found Novichok after a civilian clinic found nothing. Germany sent samples to the OPCW and forbade showing them to Russia, a founding member that still has not seen them.

Мы от немцев до сих пор не можем получить результаты анализа, которые Навальному делали в клинике бундесвера осенью 2020 года.
We still cannot obtain from the Germans the results of the analysis they did on Navalny at the Bundeswehr clinic in autumn 2020.
Нет, мне сказали немцы никому не показывать.
No, the Germans told me to show them to no one.

28. Istanbul Spoiled, Bucha Staged, Guterres Silent

Срыв парафированного текста; отход от Киева; пять лет без списка ООН.

In April 2022 Ukraine tabled Istanbul text Russia initialled; Johnson and others ordered Kyiv to fight on. Macron asked Putin for a goodwill pullback from Kyiv including Bucha; days later BBC showed neatly laid corpses in clean clothes. For nearly five years Russia asks the UN for the victim list; Guterres cites confidential relatives who never clamoured. European visitors are still taken to Bucha. Lavrov will raise it again at the UNGA and challenges UN correspondents' investigative pride.

Им запретили, Борис Джонсон, другие западные деятели, запретили подписывать, сказали: «Воюйте дальше».
They were forbidden — Boris Johnson and other Western figures forbade signing — and said: "Fight on.
Вот скоро будет 5 лет, как мы просим.
It will soon be five years that we have been asking.

29. Freeze the Line, Keep the Nazi Regime Forever

«Стабилизационные силы» без признания русских земель; предательство 1945 года.

The West now pushes an immediate stop along the contact line, then "stabilisation forces" on remaining Ukrainian territory without recognising Crimea, Donbass or Novorossiya — freezing a ban on the Russian language (unique worldwide for an official UN language) and canonical religion. That would materialise a NATO threat on Russia's borders and betray ancestors who defeated Nazism in 1945. The nation is used to sacrificing material comfort for that memory.

Они хотят сохранить и увековечить нацистский режим, запретивший русский язык во всех сферах.
They want to preserve and eternalise the Nazi regime that banned the Russian language in all spheres.
Мы бы предали своих предков, которые победили нацизм в сорок пятом году.
We would betray our ancestors who defeated Nazism in forty-five.

30. Open Calculation to Destabilise Russian Society

Удары по НПЗ и маркетплейсам; на Аляске Россия согласилась, США отползли.

Kyiv's strikes on marketplaces, refineries and infrastructure, and Zelensky's call to ground Russian civil aviation where Ukrainian combat drones fly, openly aim to make society revolt. Rubio's deep-strike logic fits that design. Russia was accommodating at Anchorage; Americans crawled back from their own proposal.

Пусть гражданской авиации в России перестают летать, потому что гражданской авиации не место там, где летают дроны боевые украинские.
Let civil aviation in Russia stop flying, because civil aviation has no place where Ukrainian combat drones fly.
На переговорах мы были покладистые, мы согласились на Аляске, американцы отползли от своего собственного предложения.
At the talks we were accommodating, we agreed in Alaska; the Americans crawled away from their own proposal.
