✍️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin's interview to Xinhua News Agency ahead of his state visit to the People’s Republic of China (May 15, 2024)

Key talking points:

🇷🇺🇨🇳 #RussiaChina partnership has always relied on the principles of equality and trust, mutual respect for the sovereignty and consideration of each other's interests. A special and prominent role in the development of our relations has belonged to wise and shrewd politicians and state leaders, such as Xi Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China.

• This unprecedented level of strategic partnership between our countries determined my choice of China as the first state to be visited after the official inauguration as the President of the Russian Federation.

• October 1 marks the 75th Anniversary of the establishment of the People's Republic of China. The country is approaching this significant historical date with outstanding achievements, which we welcome as old, reliable and time-tested friends. The USSR was the first to recognize the PRC on the second day of its existence.

• Russia-China ties as they are today, are free from the influence of either ideology or political trends. Their multidimensional development is an informed strategic choice based on the wide convergence of core national interests, profound mutual trust, strong public support and sincere friendship between the peoples of the two countries.

📈 Trade and economic relations between our countries are developing at a fast pace, showing strong immunity to external challenges and crises. Over the past five years, we have doubled the Russia-China turnover: it reached $227.8 billion last year, against $111 billion in 2019.

• President of China Xi Jinping and I decided to declare 2024 and 2025 cross years of culture between Russia and China, so as to implement this large‑scale project in conjunction with the celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 Beginning of Russia's President Vladimir Putin's conversation with President of China Xi Jinping

💬 Vladimir Putin: We will be marking a major milestone, an Anniversary. On October 1, we will celebrate 75 years since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, and the very next day, on October 2, our two countries established diplomatic relations. The Soviet Union was the first country to recognise the new China.

Moscow and Beijing have built a solid track record in terms of their practical cooperation. In 2023, bilateral trade increased by almost 25%, reaching $227 billion, which was quite a positive result.

<...>

It is of fundamental significance that relations between Russia and China do not depend on short-term considerations and are not directed against anyone. Today, our cooperation in global affairs is one of the main stabilising factors on the international stage. We are acting jointly to uphold the principles of justice and a democratic world order that reflects multipolar realities and is based on international law.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 Russia's President Vladimir Putin and President of China Xi Jinping made a media statement following Russia-China talks (May 16, 2024)

💬 Vladimir Putin: The talks we have just finished highlighted the great significance that Moscow and Beijing attach to the development and strengthening of comprehensive Russia-China partnership and strategic interaction. This partnership can certainly set an example of ties between neighbouring states.

Key talking points:

• This state visit takes place in the year of the 75th Anniversary of our diplomatic relations. Our country was the first to recognise the People’s Republic of China on October 2, 1949, the day after its declaration.

• I want to note the significance of the Joint Statement we have adopted, which sets new objectives and long-term directives for advancing the entire spectrum of Russian-Chinese relations.

📈 In 2023, bilateral trade surged by a quarter, reaching a new milestone of $240 billion, as reported by Chinese statistics. While there may be a slight variance in figures, the overall total is entirely accurate. <...> Currently, there are over 80 priority projects valued at approximately $200 billion in progress or in preparation for implementation through the respective intergovernmental commission.

• Our talks have reaffirmed that Russia and China have similar or identical views on many international and regional issues. Both countries have an independent and sovereign foreign policy. We are working together to create a fairer and more democratic multipolar world order.

• We have agreed to further improve communication between credit and banking institutions of Russia and China, while actively employing national payment systems to support our economic operators.

🤝 Russia and China are fruitfully working together in #BRICS and the #SCO. <...> Our countries are resolved to continue working to align integration processes underway within the framework of the #EAEU with China's Belt and Road Initiative.

​Вы здесь всё узнаете первыми. Например, три года назад я писал о переводах «Матери» Горького на амхарский. Чтобы поделиться этой байкой с академическим миром, пришлось вложиться: познакомиться с теорией переводов, анализировать тексты, уточнять, переписывать и даже пропустить поездку к морю🤪

Наконец-то вышла статья с очерком истории переводов на амхарский, об иерархии подходов к переводу и агентности переводчиков. Надеюсь, моя первая публикация на английском будет кому-то полезна, несмотря на неизбежные косяки.

Книга выложена в открытый доступ pdf

Эфиопская часть A Handbook of the Socialist Movement: Gorky’s Mother in Ethiopia - страница 367

Вчера был на премьере фильма одноименного с моим каналом – Тызыта (воспоминание). Очень крутая картина! Пока он на фестивалях, и посмотреть можно только трейлер.

Фильм снял Арамазд Калайджян, который приехал в Эфиопию туристом, но через армянское сообщество увлекся историей эфиопской культуры. Тема фильма (вклад армян в культуру эфиопии), казалось бы, предполагает что-то дистиллированное, но у Арамазда получилось рассказать куда более интересную историю: зритель почти забывает, что кино про армян, и наслаждается сложными переплетениями жизней, видами Аддис-Абебы (частично утраченными) и, конечно, саундтреком.

Отдельная радость видеть кадры с Алемаеху Эшете, Амха Эшете, Франсисом Фальсето, Аеле Мамо и другими людьми, многие из которых уже ушли в лучший мир.

Кстати, оказывается, я здесь уже выкладывал одну работу Калайджяна – клип Вахе (семья которого живет в Эфиопии больше ста лет) с песней Тызыта на амхарском и английском языках.
