The Russian Embassy continues to introduce its South African friends to the best examples of Soviet/Russian cinematography in the “Russian Movie Night” format
🎬 On September 20, another piece of timeless classics of Soviet cinema – Eldar Ryazanov’s “Office Romance» (1977) was screened in Pretoria.
💬 “The 1970s are remembered in the Soviet political history as stagnation era; however, as I mentioned at our previous Russian movie nights, this period is also recognized as golden age of Soviet cinema: many of the most remarkable masterpieces were produced during this decade”, Russian Ambassador to South Africa Ilya Rogachev noted in his remarks.
🎞 The Ambassador pointed out, that the «Office Romance» became one of the leading pictures at the 1978 USSR box-office; it was seen by more than 58 million viewers.
👏🏻The film was warmly received by the audience, among whom were many Russian language learners including students of the Centre of Open Education that was recently inaugurated in Johannesburg.

⚡️Russian Permanent Mission to the EU answers a question by “Izvestiya” Newspaper on the Grain Deal, 21 September 2023
Read in full
❓Are Moscow and Brussels currently engaged in a dialogue on reconnecting Rosselkhozbank? In your opinion, how likely is the EU to lift this sanction for the sake of restoring the Grain Deal?
💬 We are not engaged in any dialogue with the EU on unilateral illegitimate sanctions against our country, nor do we intend to hold any. This equally applies to the conditions for the resumption of Russia's participation in the Black Sea Initiative.
⚠️ Brussels has repeatedly made it clear that it is not going to contribute to the implementation of the goals set out in the Russia-UN Memorandum on normalising Russian agricultural exports. Moreover, by its actions, the EU has created preconditions for Russia to suspend its participation in the Grain Deal.
The comment made on 18 September 2023 by the head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell on the margins of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly in New York that there is not any possibility of reaching an agreement on the issue of reviving the Black Sea Initiative confirms yet again that the EU has made its choice. Moreover, Josep Borrell allegedly said "a thousand times" that anti-Russian sanctions do not affect the exports of food and fertilizers.
☝️Well, in reply thereto we would like to say that the EU may reproduce its arguments, which are contrary to reality, even a million times, but this will in no way affect the clear view of the entire world community, including the countries of the Global South, that the food crisis was provoked precisely by EU restrictions, primarily against Russian exports of agricultural products and fertilisers. Everyone but the EU understands that Russia is not setting conditions, but is demanding that the commitments under the Russia-UN Memorandum be honoured.
❗️Given the economic war unleashed against us, there is no reason to expect the EU to care about the food security of countries in need.

💬 We can see some Western countries’ attempts to whitewash and canonise Ukrainian neo-Nazis. For example, the city authorities allowed the holding of a photo exhibition dedicated to the Nazi Azov battalion in Milan, on one of the city streets and in the Risorgimento Museum. Militants of this terrorist organisation are presented as “defenders” of Mariupol there. <...> A biased article in Le Figaro, France, about the Azov and Right Sector neo-Nazi organisations, whose members are depicted almost as patriots, is another outrageous example.
All these facts provoke outrage, and I would like to ask the Italians and French a question: when your journalists and politicians are trying to whitewash Ukrainian neo-Nazis and present them in such a heroic light, do you remember what your countries went through during World War II?
***
💬 The decisions by the UK and the United States to supply Kiev with depleted uranium munitions have had dire long-term consequences for the region. As a result, water and soil in a vast territory have been contaminated with radiation.
Some international experts are trying to talk their way out of this situation, claiming that this is not really a nuclear security issue. Of course, there is no need to explain. We should consider this problem not only from the point of view of physics, but also of chemistry. There are no options there other than to call it a global-scale disaster.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the BRICS Ministerial Meeting on the sidelines of the 78th Session of the UN General Assembly (New York, September 20, 2023)
💬 I would like to thank our South African friends for their productive chairmanship in the past period. The BRICS Summit in Johannesburg and the Meeting of BRICS Ministers of Foreign Affairs and International Relations in Cape Town were a great success.
Documents have been drafted that provide a solid framework for the future development of our association. I am primarily referring to the six new full members that joined our ranks: Argentina, Egypt, Iran, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia.
🤝 All these countries support the fundamental goals and values of #BRICS, including the spirit of solidarity, equality, mutual respect, openness, inclusiveness and mutually beneficial cooperation based on consensus. I have no doubt that our new partners and colleagues will contribute to the association’s development.
This was a long overdue and much awaited step that confirmed that the collective voice of BRICS in defence of the global South and global majority is highly relevant in modern international relations.
More and more Asian, African and Latin American states are consolidating their economic positions and demonstrating that they are willing and ready to defend their sovereign national interests and influence global processes. We are witnessing the emergence of a more equitable, polycentric world order.
☝️ The unipolar world is becoming a thing of the past.

🎙 FM Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the UNSC meeting “Upholding the purposes and principles of the UN Charter through effective multilateralism: maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine” (New York, September 20, 2023)
Key talking points:
• When the Cold War came to an end, the US-led so-called collective West appropriated the right to rule the destinies of the entire humankind and, driven by its exceptionalism complex, started ignoring the legacy of the UN founding fathers more often and on an increasingly greater scale.
• The West makes selective use of the Charter’s norms and principles, on a case-by-case basis, and only when they serve its vested geopolitical needs. This inevitably throws global stability off-balance, exacerbating the existing hotbeds of tension and creating new ones.
• As for talks, we do not refuse to talk now either. President of Russia Vladimir Putin said this on numerous occasions, including recently. <...> President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky has signed an executive order prohibiting talks with the government of Vladimir Putin. If the US is interested in such talks, I think it only needs to give the signal for Zelensky’s order to be cancelled.
• Today, the rhetoric of our opponents is full of slogans such as “invasion,” “aggression” and “annexation.” They do not say a word about the inner reasons for the problem, or the fact that for many years they nurtured a downright Nazi regime, which is openly rewriting the results of World War II and the history of their own people.
• While chanting their mantras about the territorial integrity of Ukraine, the former colonial powers keep silent about the UN decisions inviting France to return the island of Mayotte to the Comoros and Britain to withdraw from the Chagos Islands and to resume negotiations with Argentina to resolve the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) issue.
• Facts point to a deep crisis in international relations and the absence of the Western countries’ desire and will to overcome this crisis.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s address at the Preparatory Ministerial Meeting for the Summit of the Future
📍 New York, September 21, 2023
💬 The talks focusing on the scope of the summit and its final documents have revealed deep differences in a number of key areas. The reason for this lies in the West’s relentless pursuit of hegemony and its attempts to counteract the development of a fairer international order and to impose the infamous rules-based order which undermines international law and runs counter to the interests of the Global Majority countriest.
Such self-centred politics has already triggered a profound crisis in European security and is now creating extremely dangerous tensions in the Asia-Pacific region, where bloc-based approaches are being aggressively promoted.
👉 The goals of the Summit of the Future include reaffirming the commitment of all UN Member States to the principles of the UN Charter in their entirety and interdependence, giving a boost to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, and reforming the global monetary system to reflect the actual weight and legitimate interests of the Global South. <...>
We join in calling on the Secretary-General to draft a report about the repercussions of unilateral sanctions. <...>
☝️ Russia will continue to increase its contribution to achieving the sustainable development goals, seeking balanced and acceptable solutions during the preparations for the Summit of the Future. The success of the summit is firmly grounded in the UN Charter principles, above all, the respect for sovereign equality of states and the preservation and strengthening of the intergovernmental nature of our organisation.
We caution against turning the Summit of the Future into an arena for pitting “democracies” against “autocracies.” We are concerned about signs of the UN Secretariat’s susceptibility to this confrontational concept.

💬 On September 21, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen was handing out awards on behalf of the Atlantic Council, a notorious US think tank included in the NATO system and hard at work to promote Euro-Atlantic ideas and generate Russophobic and anti-Russia narratives.
One of this year’s award winners is Prime Minister of Japan Fumio Kishida. Ms von der Leyen delivered rather a remarkable speech, praising Mr Kishida for his support of Ukraine and opposition to Russia. She mentioned the fact that his family came from Hiroshima, where a number of his relatives were killed when an atomic bomb was dropped on the city in 1945. Yet, she did not utter a single word about the United States or the Washington criminals who had dropped the A-bombs on the Japanese cities and their civilian population. However, this bureaucrat involved in the biggest corruption scandals in the EU history went even further and blamed the tragedy of Hiroshima… on Russia.
This is what she said: “Many of your relatives lost their lives when the atomic bomb razed Hiroshima to the ground. You have grown up with the stories of survivors and wanted us to listen to the same stories, to face the past and learn something about the future... Russia threatens to use nuclear weapons once again. It is heinous, it is dangerous – and in the shadow of Hiroshima, it is unforgivable.”
What is heinous and dangerous is the lies spun by Ursula von der Leyen.

☝️Sergey Lavrov’s remarks focused on the importance of the international legal norms stipulated in the UN Charter, including the principles of sovereign equality of states and non-interference in their internal affairs, for successful progress towards building a just and polycentric world order. He criticised the Western countries’ policies for using neo-colonial practices, including unilateral restrictive measures against countries pursuing an independent foreign policy. He pointed out the correlation between the sanctions and the aggravation of the food crisis in the world and the rollback in the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Following the meeting, the ministers adopted a general political declaration as well as documents concerning neo-colonial practices, unilateral coercive measures and food security.
