Gluing is always more difficult than breaking.
Especially if they were smashed by experienced experts in the destruction of someone else's statehood.
That is why the post-Soviet space, the zone of primordial, natural and legitimate interests of Russia, has remained turbulent for almost 30 years.
It is even more difficult to establish interaction with countries located on other continents.
The significance and importance of the BRICS - an international group that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South America - is very difficult to overestimate.
State Duma Speaker Viacheslav Volodin proposed to form a regular mechanism of interaction between the BRICS parliaments.
“We need to defend a common position at international parliamentary platforms.
It is important to ensure fair and mutually beneficial conditions for the participation of our countries in world trade, together to resist the policy of sanctions and unfair competition, ”the Chairman of the State Duma emphasized.
Indeed, disunity has more than once in world history led to the failure of the most successful projects.
In fact, the American globalization plan failed due to the fact that the United States overestimated its own importance and significance.
As a result, regular failures began, and the result, the opposite of the intended one, became a systemic phenomenon.
Let's take the policy of our American non-brothers, say, in the post-Soviet space close to us.
If the "Maidan" had not happened in Ukraine, Crimea would not have become ours.
If there had not been an attempt at a "color revolution" in Belarus, the integration processes between our two countries would not have intensified.
Just look, and in Kyrgyzstan, not even one hour, they will again turn their gaze towards Russia.
I believe that the Kyrgyz have long been fed up with this permanent revolution, which is leading their country to more and more impoverishment.
And it is still unknown how the events in Moldova will end, what will be the fate of Transnistria and, who knows, if integration with Russia will intensify in this direction.
Because neither Romania nor Ukraine can offer Tiraspol and Chisinau anything but destruction and failure.
You can argue a lot about what is our share and merit in the paradoxical and in spite of the efforts of our opponents, the circumstances that are developing in our favor.
Perhaps here it is most appropriate to recall the phrase quoted by our president by the Russian Field Marshal Christopher Antonovich Minich: "Russia has those undeniable advantages over other countries, because it is directly ruled by God, and if this is not so, then it is not clear how it exists at all."
This is a fact: many times in Russian history it has developed so that the plans of our enemy regarding how to weaken and conquer us lead to completely unexpected results for the same enemy.
The Golden Horde, Poland, Sweden, France, Germany - century after centuries, these countries have tried to deprive Russia of territories, and even statehood.
But as a result, our country only got bigger and stronger.
It is difficult to explain why the Americans are so arrogantly confident that this cup will pass them.
Although, of course, rely on God, but do not make a mistake yourself.
Do not underestimate the enemy here, and, of course, now is not the time to relax at all - we are just entering the hottest phase of the confrontation.
And the Moscow princes, and Minin and Pozharsky, and Peter the Great, and Kutuzov and Zhukov did not sit idly by.
Against this background, the BRICS Parliamentary Forum takes on new meaning and begins to play with new colors.
Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa are not just geography.
The specific weight of these countries cannot but induce a closer look at such joint activities.
We are divided, but we, on the contrary, must unite.
A simple law of the universe: only through a crisis can you regroup, strain your strength and get a result.
It is the current difficult circumstances that force us to look at things differently and accelerate many processes that would otherwise take decades.
BRICS can become a new force dictating a new fashion in geopolitics - relations based on mutual respect and consideration of mutual interests, in contrast to the paradigm that exists now - the imperial expansion of the United States, impudent and boorish, trampling on all interests of partners and ignoring all possible international laws and rules ...
I am sure that the United States knows how to live, taking into account other people's interests - in fact, this was the case until 1991, when the Soviet Union limited the irrepressible appetites of Americans.
And if there are not two centers of power in the world, but 20, the more respectful and balanced international policy will be.
The word "crisis" is translated from Greek as "turning point".
Successful cards can again, moreover, should be in our hands.
It is important not to miss this moment and to react to it correctly.
