Welcome to the Center of International Interaction and Cooperation (CIIC)!

Our mission is simple: to establish meaningful connections between Russia and the global community across various domains, including business development, humanitarian efforts, socio-political dialogue, scientific exchange, cultural enrichment, and more.

Join us as we embark on our journey to bridge cultures, foster mutual understanding, and drive positive change worldwide.

Stay tuned for updates, events, and initiatives!

One of the main goals of our Center is to promote multipolar world.

Multipolar world is a global system where power is distributed among multiple actors, such as countries or regions, rather than being dominated by a single superpower or a small group of powerful countries. In this kind of world, there are many significant centers of political, economic, and military influence, and no single entity holds uncontested authority. This leads to a more complex and dynamic international environment, with a greater emphasis on diplomacy, negotiation, and cooperation among the various power centers.

The system dominated by Western powers is becoming a thing of the past, and CIIC will work with its partners all over the world to make its own contribution to this crucial process.

The European Parliament have adopted the resolution condemning presidential election in Russian Federation as illegitimate, via series of manipulative arguments and politically committed assessments. Thus, the resolution notes that the election have been held ostensibly “without impartial and independent international election observers in the country”

Such a distortion strikes as grossly flagrant since more than 1100 observers from 129 foreign countries have overseed the march election in the Russian Federation. Their independency from Europe and European electoral institutions is the only reason for not considering their valuation of Russian electoral process as free and transparent.
Unsubstantiated claims voting in several regions was organized amid threats by armed Russian soldiers are in fact challenged by conclusions and assessments of those numerous foreign observers who have overseed with their own eyes the open and free expression of will of Russian citizens as well as their voluntary participation in the election.
The attempt to assess the democratic procedures by members of the European Parliament who have not observed them, yet again undermines credibility of the European institute for international observation, which currently holds a certain monopoly in this field.
Such political manipulations once again prove that the multipolar world has a high demand for the new institutions for international electoral expertise, which would be impartial, substantiated and unaffected by political environment.

❓What do you think do such resolutions constate the erosion of democratic values? After such statements made, could European institutions still be unbiased and in their evaluation of electoral procedures? Isn’t it high time to address the exclusion of doublespeak standards as well as the politization of the international election observation missions?

Daniel Martin Kovalik (the USA),
professor of international human rights of school of law of the University of Pittsburgh:

"And they would actually punish observers went to those regions. And why? Why did they want to punish so-called observers or companies who goes to those regions? Because they don't want the people of their own country again in this my example the Unites States to see the reality, what is happening on place I cares on."

Caleb Maupin (the USA),
political journalist and analyst touched another very important topic:

"The U.S. leaders continue to provide weapons and support to Ukrainian forces as they conduct the attacks that target civilians such as the recent attacks on the apartment buildings in Belgorod. And the policy of the U.S. government fits the definition of terrorism by every standard measure there is a desire to actively harm Russian civilians, there is a desire to create fear among the public."

Olga Petersen (Germany),
member of the Landtag of Hamburg from the Alternative for Germany party:

"I was expelled from the faction, but I remain a member of the Landtag. But, I'll tell you how it is, so to speak, the persecution in the press and the persecution also, unfortunately, within the party, in the Western land against me continues. I would say it is even gaining more and more momentum."

Alexander Shkolnik, Deputy Secretary of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation:
"Olga, question. Why were you expelled from the faction and deprived of immunity?"

She replied: "Yes, I was expelled from the faction for calling the elections in the Russian Federation open and free. And I called this whole process democratic."

Henrique Domingues (Brazil),
advisor on International Relations of the BRICS+ IMF Forum Chairmanship:

"The EU issued a resolution stated that the elections in Russia were illegitimate. We, as experts and observers, saw with our own eyes that in fact the elections were conducted normally, nothing unusual, nothing terrible occurred. The process was democratic, people voted."

Petros Woldegiorgis (Ethiopia),
president of the Bonga University:

"Elections in the Russian Federation are the matter only for the Russian Federation, only for the millions of people who live on the territory of the Russian Federation. It does not relate at all to the United States or Europe. I am responsible for what happens with elections in my country, not my neighbors, because this is something that concerns me and my country."

The online conference "On the role and prospects of international observation in the face of globalization, external pressure and information wars."

Dragana Trifkovic (Serbia),
human rights activist:

"The fact that the West supported these self-proclaimed leaders shows they are not interested in democracy, in respecting the rights of citizens to choose their representatives and determine their future. Therefore, the West's criticism of the Russian elections is completely unacceptable, unargumented and unfounded, and is caused only by political interests of weakening Russia."

The online conference "On the role and prospects of international observation in the face of globalization, external pressure and information wars."

Mateusz Piskorski (Poland),
human rights activist:

"First of all, I would like to say, that, of course the elections observation, unrelated to a particular political plans and projects, geopolitical agenda, can be extremely dangerous activity, as Mrs. Petersen just mentioned. I personally became a victim of political persecution after observing the Crimea Referendum."

Rajesh Bagha (India),
secretary general of the Bharatiya Janata Party:

"I was really surprised by the organization and conduct of these elections. I was impressed by the innovation of remote electronic voting, which met all the standards required for this type of voting. Back home I shared my impressions about the elections in the Russian Federation, that used more modern technologies compared to many countries. And I recommend to adopt this practice, because that is worthy of respect and recognition."
