The foreign minister stressed that "Russia has consistently upheld the belief that reliance on enduring values common to all major world religions and cultures along with respect for the unique identities of all nations and their right to sovereign development is key to building a fairer multipolar world order"

MOSCOW, April 16. /TASS/. Russia is prepared to support the growing number of those in the world who share its traditional spiritual and moral values, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated during a meeting of the Foreign Ministry Council of Heads of Regions of Russia.

"As a civilization-state, Russia has consistently upheld the belief that reliance on enduring values common to all major world religions and cultures along with respect for the unique identities of all nations and their right to sovereign development is key to building a fairer multipolar world order, which, in turn, creates more favorable external conditions for Russia’s development and, of course, for all nations that share such an approach," said Lavrov.

"More and more people worldwide not only sympathize with our country and seek to understand our way of life but also specifically perceive Russia as a guardian and defender of these traditional values, with such sentiments observed even in Western nations," emphasized the foreign minister.

Lavrov reminded the Council that in August 2024 Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on providing humanitarian assistance to individuals who uphold Russia’s traditional values. The Foreign Ministry actively coordinates efforts with other agencies to implement the decree, including providing "informational support for relevant measures," he noted.

"Our embassies and consulates have comprehensive, regularly updated guidelines to explain this initiative to foreign citizens in the countries where they operate," Lavrov added, "the Russian Foreign Ministry also assists in the relocation and adaptation of foreigners who, under the aforementioned decree, express.........

"Our main goal is to establish transparent, straightforward and tangible conditions for the relocation and integration of citizens from countries where unnatural behavioral and life models as well as destructive neoliberal ideologies are being aggressively thrust upon people, severely undermining their moral health," Lavrov said.

Why the West hates Russia.

[Olog-hai]

If that were true, then they would change Russia’s constitution so it doesn’t look anything like Stalin’s constitution as it does now. And yes, I’ve read it.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

I’m not a fan of Russia but when one sees what Western nations are doing, in terms of denying basic rights such as free speech and targeting capitalism, it’s hard to see much of a distinction between our enemy and our supposed allies.

[adorno]

Why the West hates Russia.

Yeah, sure. Russia is such a representative country of moral and ethical values.

America should copy the Russia way of life, including one-party rule and elections that always swing one-way. We may even be prone towards invading our neighbors. We need more heroes like Stalin and Lenin and Putin.

Do you ou work for TASS?

As Steve Bannon said on his show today, for a thousand years the Russian people have been ruled by the tyrannical Tsars, evil Bolsheviks and ruthless KGB.

But through it all, the Russian people have withstood the homosexual onslaught and destruction of the nuclear family (pushed by the filthy decadent depraved West).

If only they could get rid of their neo-communist overlords.

[Responsibility2nd]

Hey Russia: Abortion is not a traditional value.

“If only they could get rid of their neo-communist overlords.”

The “overlords” ...

At the same time, queerphobic repression in Russia has been portrayed by pro-Kremlin outlets as a sign of traditional values, contrasting Russia against the “decadent West.” In this respect, Russia’s anti-queer laws are used as an ideological bludgeon, demonstrating Russia’s supposed purity to the world. It is a form of soft power.

A dictatorship with a leader who jails or assassinates his political opponents and invades another country to satisfy his imperial ambitions is not a “keeper of traditional values” unless that is meant to meant “traditional Russian imperial values”.

You are clearly retarded. Your mental capabilities are not in sink with reality. Much luck!

Remember when the Left worshiped Russia?

The Left worshiped the successor Soviet Union and Bolshevik Russia as the predecessor.

For more accuracy to your question, the Left STILL worships the Soviet Union, even though it no longer exists.

The usual personal attacks from somebody who cannot make his case. You are the equivalent of the progressives whose only 'defense' against Trump is to call him Hitler or Nazi or fascist, or a threat to democracy. When all else fails, call the opposition devils.

When it comes to 'retarded', the ones using the word are almost always the ones that demonstrate their mental incapacity when their only resort is to insult and attack.

In any case, I'd bet that my IQ level is at least 100 points higher than yours.

[adorno]

Hey, all those invasions were justified because NATO was encroaching the Russian border. ;)

Besides, empire-building does require invading other lands. No empire ever existed that didn’t include aggressive actions to take over countries. So, there! Jeez! Wise up! ;)

Remember when the Left worshipped Russia?

You mean, the Soviet Union and now the Russian Federation?

But, it's not just the left; we have many on the right worshiping them too.
