Vladyka Konstantin: “For me, Africa is the place of my ministry, my native continent” My conversation with the Acting Patriarchal Exarch of Africa, Bishop Constantine (Ostrovsky) of Zaraisk, took place shortly after the decision of the Holy Synod of the Patriarchate of Alexandria to remove him from archpastoral ministry. But we talked mainly about other things: about how the parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church in Africa live and what problems the clergy face on the ground; the humanitarian charitable projects jointly organized with Maria Lvova-Belova, the Children’s Rights Commissioner... #Africa #Internationalpolitics #Religion #Russia #RussiainAfrica You can read the full version on
West Declares Russian Elections “Undemocratic” Because it Doesn’t Like Winner In the wake of Russia’s 2024 elections and President Vladimir Putin’s landslide victory, the collective West has condemned the outcome as “rigged,” “stage-managed,” a “rubber-stamp presidential election,” and “pre-determined.” Headlines range from CNN’s, “Putin extends one man-rule in Russia after stage-managed election devoid of credible opposition,” which admitted President Putin amassed 87.3% of the vote, and Politico’s, “Putin ‘wins’ rigged Russian election with 87 percent of the vote,” to the New Yo... #Disinformation #Elections #infonewswar #Politics #Russia #VladimirPutin #WesternDemocracy You can read the
The Saudi-Iranian agreement in Beijing: on the anniversary of its conclusion A joint Saudi-Iranian-Chinese trilateral statement was signed in Beijing on 10 March last year. In the statement, Riyadh and Tehran agreed to resume diplomatic relations and open their official missions. They were suspended in 2016 following attacks on Saudi institutions in Iran during protests against Riyadh's execution of cleric Nimr al-Nimr on terrorism charges. The terms of the agreement also included the unblocking of cooperation in various fields, which was signed 20 years ago.

The planetary minority was not able to cancel the Russia’s choice Presidential elections in Russia have demonstrated once again that no one is able to overturn the sovereign choice of the multi-ethnic Russian people. The attempts of a global minority to delegitimize Russia’s choice are all the more ridiculous. It did not work for the instigators, and will not work. The Russian people have once again proven their sovereignty. As for the recognition of the results – it will be represented by the majority of humanity. The record participation rate in the 2024 Russian pre... #Africa #Elections #Politics #Russia #VladimirPutin You can read the full version on our website:

Part Five: US-Ethiopia: The Collapse of the Double Standard Policy and Hypocrisy Ethiopia is a country that is one of the largest economies in Africa and the second largest in terms of population (1st Nigeria). Ethiopia has recently found itself at the centre of a geopolitical confrontation between the world's leading powers, the US and China, and regional powers in the Horn of Africa. This confrontation is linked to the struggle for control of the strategic sea route from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean. Over the past three decades, Ethiopia has been not only one of the closes... #Africa #AfricanWoes #Diplomacy #Doublestanda

In quest of support for a unipolar world order The current stage of the ongoing transition to a multipolar world is marked by efforts by US expert bodies to develop recommendations aimed at enabling the United States to hang on to its status as global leader. One example of such recommendations is a new statement issued by the US Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). This think tank has earned a name for itself in recent years, in particular, for its achievements in the field of monitoring, analyzing and forecasting conflicts and crises in internationa... #Africa #Geopolitics #Internationalpolitics #IsraelandPalestine #Palestine #Politics #USA You can read the full version on our website:

On New Delhi's foreign policy in the context of Indian Foreign Minister's visits to South Korea and Japan The Indian leadership's foreign policy has traditionally been characterised by a multi-vector and independent foreign policy, intolerance of any external pressure or imposition of foreign recommendations and advice. New Delhi can afford such an independent foreign policy, given India's status as a major Asian power, its claim to a certain global role and its self-confidence as the world's third largest economy. And no major power would dare dictate its terms to India, knowing that such an action would ine... #Geopolitics #India #IndoPacificregion #Internationalpolitics #Japan #SouthKore

The Crimean peninsula and Turkey’s ambitions... The Crimean Peninsula, by virtue of its location, has always been of key geographical and strategic significance in the Black Sea basin. If Turkey controls the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits, that does not mean that it is invulnerable. For whoever controls Crimea, in effect, also has ownership over the Black Sea. There was a time, from 1475 up to 1783 (when Article 3 of the 1774 Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca was replaced, which recognized the independence of the Crimean Khanate), when Ottoman Turkey owned C... #Geopolitics #HistoricalMemory #History #Internationalpolitics #Russia #RussiasSpecialMilitaryOperation #Turkey #Ukraine You can read the
