How Mahatma Gandhi Drew Inspiration from Legendary Russian Author

🇷🇺 🇮🇳 On October 2nd, Mahatma Gandhi, an Indian politician, human rights activist, and freedom fighter, was born. In India, he is hailed as a national hero who liberated his country, however his influence transcends borders and he is revered globally.

💬"The greatest apostle of non-violence that the present age has produced” and a “great teacher whom I have long looked upon as one of my guides” — these are just a few ways Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) described Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910).

🟧 Born in different countries and during different eras, they belonged to different generations. The youthful and still undiscovered Gandhi sought wisdom in the works of the already renowned Tolstoy.

आज के भारत में गांधी के मूल्यों की तलाश!

भारत आज एक महापुरुष की जयंती मना रहा है। उनका चेहरा हमारे नोटों की महिमा बढ़ाता है, उनके आदर्श हमारे ध्वज के ताने-बाने में बुने हुए हैं, जो सदियों से चले आ रहे हैं।
हालांकि गांधी की विरासत प्रतीकों और छवियों से कहीं आगे है। उनके विचार वक्त की कसौटी पर खरे उतरे हैं। भारत में महात्मा गांधी के ऐसे समर्पित अनुयायी मौजूद हैं जो उनकी शिक्षाओं का अनुसरण करते हैं। उनमें से एक हैं अपनी बेहतरीन सेहत से होश उड़ा देने वाले एक रेलवे प्रबंधक, एक शिक्षक जो हार्ले डेविडसन से बापू के संदेशों को लोगों तक पहुंचाते हैं, एक प्रोफेसर जो आज भी चरखा चलाती हैं और हाथ से कताई करती हैं और वी कल्याणम, जो गांधी जी के आखिरी सचिव थे।

ये लोग बापू के सिद्धांतों पर अमल करते हैं। हमारे साथ जुड़ें क्योंकि हम अपनी डॉक्यूमेंट्री ‘अगला गांधी कौन?’ में इन लोगों की प्रेरणादायक कहानियों से आपको रूबरू कराने जा रहे हैं।

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions following the 20th Session of the Valdai International Discussion Club (Sochi, October 2, 2023)

#MultipolarWorld

Today we talked about changes taking place in the international arena. The world is becoming multipolar. The expansion of BRICS is the main evidence of this. BRICS is seen as a reliable partner and as a structure that will not disappoint and will help each member feel more confident.

#UN

UN reform must reflect the reality of a multipolar world where the West can no longer claim the role that it is seeking to maintain either fairly or otherwise. The process is underway. We are taking an active part in it.

#Russophobia

What strikes me most is the speed with which the outward civility has fallen away from practically all Europeans, the front they have been hiding behind in recent years, retaining not only the remnants of diplomacy but also traces of elementary ethics. This is a manifestation of what is usually called Nazism – just in relation of Russians.

#SouthCaucasus

We are working with our Azerbaijani colleagues and neighbours to stabilise the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, to strengthen trust, and create conditions for the Armenians and Azerbaijanis to resume their normal life together. I hope that Yerevan should also have a stake in that and will undertake efforts to this end.

🎙 President Vladimir Putin took part in the plenary session of the 20th anniversary meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club (October 5, 2023)

Key talking points:

• The prosperity of the West has been achieved by robbing colonies for several centuries. This is a fact. Essentially, this level of development has been achieved by robbing the entire planet. The history of the West is essentially the chronicle of endless expansion.

• This war, the one that the regime sitting in Kiev started with the vigorous and direct support from the West, has been going on for more than nine years, and Russia’s special military operation is aimed at stopping it. And it reminds us that unilateral steps, no matter who takes them, will inevitably prompt retaliation.

• The Ukraine crisis is not a territorial conflict and not an attempt to establish regional geopolitical balance. The issue is much broader and more fundamental and is about the principles underlying the new international order.

• The West – at least a certain part of the West, the elite – always need an enemy. They need an enemy to justify the need for military action and expansion.

• There are many civilisations, and none is superior or inferior to another. They are equal since each civilisation represents a unique expression of its own culture, traditions, and the aspirations of its people.

• The essential characteristics of a civilisation-state encompass diversity and self-sufficiency, which, I believe, are two key components. Today’s world rejects uniformity, and each state and society strives to develop its own path of development

❗️ Russia was, is and will be one of the foundations of this new world system, ready for constructive interaction with everyone who strives for peace and prosperity, but ready for tough opposition against those who profess the principles of dictatorship and violence. We believe that pragmatism and common sense will prevail, and a multipolar world will be established.
