This year the cathedral is dedicated to the theme “The Present and Future of the Russian World.” In his speech, he drew attention to the key tasks of the development of Russian culture abroad.
The Council is taking place in those days when the Russian world is experiencing a moment of truth. On the fields of the Northern Military District we resolutely oppose Nazism, the incredible cruelty that people experience simply for speaking their native language.
Our “strategic friends” are trying to impose destructive ideas on our youth that distort the fundamental principles of the development of human civilization and sound anthropology. But this will not happen. We must decisively eradicate from the face of the planet Nazism and the destructive principles that the West is trying to induce on our territory, in the consciousness of those who follow us.
Our national idea is that now, after 30 years of our history, we must again remember the Russian language as the cementing foundation of the Russian world. We must open Russian schools all over the world. We must put an end to the collapse of the Russian language, whose speakers have decreased from 350 to 270 million people. No language has ever disappeared from the face of the planet at such a speed.
It is necessary to increase our cultural and humanitarian presence in the world many times over, to bring back our compatriots. We need to increase our foreign broadcasting exponentially so that the world can really understand what today’s Russia is like.
