Key points
💬 The Soviet Union decided to join #UNESCO guided by the goals, principles and ideals laid out in its Charter, which included universal welfare, refusal of confrontation, equality, mutual respect, and equal rights for all people on Earth without exception in the spheres of culture, science, and education.
• The Soviet Union was among the leaders. Now, as the Russian Federation, we are trying to keep this position. In the 1960s-1970s (the Soviet Union joined UNESCO in 1954), we began to strongly promote specific projects that fit into UNESCO’s mandate.
• Our country and a group of enthusiasts have initiated an international communications programme, which was built on crucial principles such as ensuring freedom of speech, safe journalistic activities, and unhindered conditions for journalistic work.
• We have indeed made a vast contribution to shaping the existing UNESCO agenda. Every year, we hold a meeting of the governmental Commission for UNESCO, which I chair. It is a major entity reflecting the entire range of our achievements in science, culture and education.
🌍 We are helping African countries in several areas. Africa is a priority for UNESCO, meaning that, in all areas of activity, including bodies, commissions and other events that we initiate, we pay special attention to this continent.
• Just like the UN Secretariat, the UNESCO Secretariat has been largely privatised by the West. Time after time, it has strayed from its statutory duties which require it to be a unifying body and to stick to a neutral and unbiased position, rather than to do any government’s bidding. All these principles from the UN Charter and the UNESCO Charter often get violated.
• The saddest part about the reputation of the current UNESCO leaders is that they have adopted an absolutely biased stance with regard to the Ukraine crisis in flagrant violation of the UNESCO Constitution, which insists on ensuring equal rights when it comes to access to education for all.
☝️ I believe pulling out of UNESCO is not an option. We should instead fight this absolutely biased and unacceptable stance on the part of the Secretariat from within. That is exactly what we are doing: requesting information. The Secretariat is under obligation to respond to requests filed by member countries. Whenever we receive perfunctory answers to our inquiries, we make that state of affairs public.

🌍Together with Russian scientists representing the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Quantum Centre I took part in the opening ceremony of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology held today at #UNESCO Headquarters in Paris.
✅The Year was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly on the initiative of UNESCO with the support of our country.
🔥We are rightly proud of the contribution of outstanding Russian physicists, Nobel Prize winners Lev Landau, Nikolay Basov, Zhores Alferov to the development of quantum science.
🏆Their breakthrough discoveries led to the development of quantum mechanics, the creation of the first quantum generator and quantum electronics.
🎤We expect that the celebration of the Year in 2025 will contribute to the consolidation of international efforts in the field of popularisation and development of quantum research for the benefit of all mankind.

🎙Permanent Delegate of Russia 🇷🇺 to UNESCO Mr. Rinat Alyautdinov in response to a TASS question:
💬 Donald Trump's Executive Order to review US membership in #UNESCO in the near future calls into question the possibility of repaying the huge US debt to the Organisation (amounting to over $600 million), which exceeds Organisation’s annual budget.
☝️In this case the developing countries, first of all, African, which counted on Washington to fulfil its financial obligations, may be most affected.

🎙️Commentaire de Jacques Ragon, Président de l'association 🇫🇷 "Taïga-Europe", expert de l'Association des plus beaux villages de Russie
💬En apprenant que le Parc National de Kenozero avait été accepté dans la liste de l’UNESCO, j’ai été ému et très satisfait. Car dès juin 2016, en accompagnement du président de l’association des Plus Beaux Villages de Russie, j’ai visité ce parc pour expertiser son potentiel, pour qu’un de ses premiers villages puisse rejoindre notre Association.
La beauté sublime de ses paysages, le patrimoine architectural préservé du grand Nord Russe, l’accueil des habitants, la professionnalisation de l’administration du parc, ont concouru à la fois à l’entrée du village Zekhnovo dans notre association comme membre , et bien-sûr à l’entrée très réservée et élitiste dans la liste de l’UNESCO.
Nous remercions les directrices du parc Alexandra Yakovleva et auparavant Elena Shatkovskaya, le MAE de 🇷🇺 pour sa détermination au sein de #UNESCO afin de voir la liste russe admise.
