💬 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s message of greetings to the participants in the international research and applied forum
“#NoStatuteOfLimitations. Genocide of the Soviet people by the Nazis and their proxies during the Great Patriotic War: Historical reflection and judicial practice.”
🕯 Symbolically, the forum is taking place in the Leningrad Region. The memories of the prisoners of the local death camp Dulag-154, who miraculously survived, provides the clearest evidence of the inhuman crimes committed by the Nazi occupants in Gatchina.
❗️ Unfortunately, many European countries have lost much of their immunity to the Nazi virus. The situation in Ukraine and the Baltic countries is particularly alarming. In general, the international community is increasingly facing the attempts to revise and distort the legal, political, moral and ethical lessons of the Nuremberg Trials.

✍️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin signed the Executive Order On Approving the Fundamentals of State Policy for the Preservation and Strengthening of Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values.
🇷🇺 Traditional values include human life, dignity, human rights and freedoms, patriotism, civic consciousness, service to the Fatherland and responsibility for its destiny, high moral ideals, strong families, productive labour, the primacy of the spiritual over corporeal, humanism, charity, justice, collectivism, mutual assistance and mutual respect, historical memory and the continuity of generations, as well as the unity of Russia’s peoples.
The National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation assesses that the situation in Russia and the world requires emergency measures to defend traditional values.

• extremist and terrorist organisations,
• some news media and communication platforms,
• the actions of the United States and other unfriendly foreign states, several transnational corporations and foreign NGOs,
• the activities of some organisations and individuals in the territory of Russia.
Destructive ideological influences on Russian citizens are threatening the demographic health of the country.
👉 Objectives set forth in state policy to preserve and strengthen traditional values:
🔸 to strengthen civic unity, national civic identity and Russian singularity, inter-ethnic and inter-faith harmony based on the unifying role played by traditional values;
🔸 to preserve historical memory, counter attempts to falsify history <...>
🔸 to preserve, reinforce and promote traditional family values, including marriage as a union between a man and a woman <...>
🔸 to carry out state information policy reinforcing the role traditional values play in mass consciousness and to counter the spread of destructive ideology;

On November 19, 1922, Soviet linguist epigrapher and ethnographer Yuri Knorozov was born. Knorozov is particularly renowned for the pivotal role his research played in the decipherment of the Maya script, the writing system used by the pre-Columbian Maya civilization of Mesoamerica.
“There are no indecipherable writings, any writing system produced by man can be read by man.”

🗓 On November 22, 1941, the Road of Life across the Lake Ladoga went operational. 30 km long, this dangerous ice route remained the only connection between the besieged Leningrad & the "mainland"
After the city was encircled by the Nazis on September 8, 1941, the issue of food supply & the evacuation of people became of critical importance. Preparations for the construction of the ice road got underway in October 1941.
❗️ On November 22, the first convoy of 60 lorries set out across the ice of Lake Ladoga. At that time, the daily quota of bread in Leningrad was reduced to 250 grammes for workers & only 125 grammes for other citizens. People began to die of hunger by the thousands.
🚚 Ignoring the harsh weather conditions, shelling & fatigue, the drivers made two, even three trips a day.
💬 Leonid Barkovich, driver of the 804th lorry fleet on the Road of Life: Each of us hoped to evade an enemy shell, but we also knew that only death would prevent us from fulfilling our duty.
The Road of Life continued to supply Leningrad until March 1943. In total, more than 20,000 people worked on it. How many of them gave their lives so that Leningrad could live is still unknown.
⭐️ To commemorate the 78th anniversary of the lifting of the Siege of Leningrad, one of the 4,000 famous «Polutorka» (GAZ AA) lorries that delivered essential supplies to the city was temporarily put on display in front of the Foreign Ministry building.
It is difficult to overstate the importance of the Road of Life. There is no doubt that it played a major role in the survival of Leningrad. The total amount of cargo transported across the ice exceeded 1.6 million tonnes; during the same time, some 1.4 million people were evacuated from the city. The memory of this feat is carefully preserved: the Leningrad Region has recently restored the Road of Life Museum, The Breaking Through the Siege of Leningrad museum & The Breakthrough panorama museum.

🎙 President Vladimir Putin took part in the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (#CSTO) summit in Armenia.
Key points:
🔹 Military-technical cooperation between the CSTO member states is expanding.
🔹 All of us rally together to preserve the memory of the common history of our states, of the fact that our peoples won in the Great Patriotic War together.
🔹 Cooperation in the CSTO format yields tangible, practical results and helps us ensure the protection of our countries' national interests, sovereignty and independence.
🔹 The threat of militants from different international terrorist organisations penetrating the CSTO member states’ territories remains high. The spread of extremist ideology among the people of the Central Asian countries promotes the risk of increased activity of the radical underground in the region.
🔹 We will facilitate stabilisation in Afghanistan through other multilateral mechanisms as well.

Key points:
☝️ In the course of our special military operation, we have to oppose not only the formations of the Kiev regime, but also countries of the North Atlantic Alliance that provide all sorts of military support to Kiev and thus wage a proxy war on Russia. In order to weaken and destroy the military potential of our opponents, we launch high-precision strikes against energy and other infrastructure that is used to supply Ukrainian armed formations with weapons, first of all Western, facilitate their logistics and liaison.
❗️We cannot remember anyone in the West express any concern back in 2015, when through the fault of Ukraine the people of Crimea were left without water and electricity. To say nothing of the people of Donbas, who suffered from economic suffocation for eight years on end.
⚡️ The residential buildings become damaged and civilians get killed on account of Ukrainian air defense systems that are deployed in centers of Ukrainian cities rather than on the outskirts. As a result, wreckage of the missiles or stray Ukrainian missiles hit the facilities that we never targeted.
<...>
We launch strikes against the Ukrainian infrastructure in retaliation for the pumping-up of Ukraine with Western weapons and the reckless calls to Kiev to win a military victory over Russia. Undermining the combat capability of the Ukrainian army, which threatens the security and territorial integrity of Russia, is one of the goals of our special military operation. This task will be carried out by military means until the Kiev regime adopts a realistic position that would allow to negotiate and try to resolve the issues that forced us to start the SMO.
❗️ Western states seek to establish their geopolitical hegemony by proxy at the expense of Ukrainian lives.

The Ninth Review Conference of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, from 28 November to 16 December 2022.
⚠️ The United States’ doctrinal documents continue to set aims for enhancing military biological capabilities. As part of the Strategy, the United States seeks to strengthen worldwide control over the global biological environment and reserves the right to perform «dual-use»research, including research conducted outside of national boundaries.
Another strategic planning document is the updated Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) strategy through 2027, which explicitly acknowledges its dual role. It is to not only provide protection, but also combat support to military units.
⚡ The papers disclosed once again indicate Kiev–Washington cooperation, as well as attempts to create pathogen control in Ukrainian laboratories by
installing the PACS system, portions of which were provided to Ukraine under
the title «US government property».
🇺🇸 US research into the pathogenic properties of microorganisms is forcing US administration officials in charge of countering biological threats to reconsider their statements.
👉 The «Boston experiment» highlights the lack of government oversight of genetic engineering and synthetic biology research in the USA. Despite the substantial biological dangers, the research was conducted with US government money and without the necessary authorisation from the national biosafety agency.
