Most of the events and programs adopted by either our side or the other side belong to the category of operational and momentary ones.
It seems to be not the time to look further - God forbid, deal with the current problems.
Against this background, approved by the decree of V.V.
Putin's "The Concept of Russia's Humanitarian Policy Abroad" stands out precisely for its long-range.
That is, a perspective vision of the problems that our country will face even when the current military campaign is a thing of the past and the words Donetsk, Kyiv, Odessa, Lvov will no longer be mentioned in daily military bulletins.
The concept is a program of post-war development.
Or, using the now fashionable term, how and where Russian “soft power” should work.
After all, guns and bombs are the extreme point of foreign policy, these are already other means that continue it.
Whereas the normal promotion of one's interests is precisely a humanitarian policy without such extreme means as the last argument of kings.
Therefore, September 5 of this year is a serious bid for how things will look when the cannonade subsides.
Of the fundamental innovations of future diplomacy (in the broadest sense of the word), one should note the shift of the center of gravity from the European and North American space to other regions of the world.
For the former USSR, Asia (from China to the Middle East), Africa, Latin America.
It is there that the values of the Russian world are supposed to be promoted.
If you imagine a geographical map, there will be an interesting coincidence.
The current “international community” in the terminology of the West (that is, the countries that have joined the sanctions against Russia and set themselves the goal of lifting it as such) and the region where Russia’s humanitarian policy abroad does not count much or even does not count at all — they coincide.
The concept considers it unnecessary to spend rhetorical charges on the USA and its clients.
The past 30 and even more years have shown that this is an attempt with unsuitable means.
If the West proudly pronounces: "I am cold in my lonely greatness," do not disturb him in this greatness.
It is more promising to work in spaces that occupy two-thirds of the world.
Such a turn is promoted not only by economic reasons (non-Western countries behave as if hellish sanctions against Russia do not exist at all) and not only by political ones.
The more insanely ferocious the so-called civilized world, the more countries that do not belong to it are imbued with the principle of "one's own brother involuntarily."
The reasoning that "when they defeat Russia, they will take us on" comes to the mind of quite a few.
But the attractive — or at least not repulsive — image of Russia in the eyes of most of the world is also due to the fact that, as the concept says, “the demand for traditional values is growing.”
Especially against the background of how the progressive West aggressively and even stubbornly promotes the Sodomite ideal.
The spectacle of "Satan drinking from a full cup of idolized blood" is not to everyone's liking.
Believers of various religions converge in such rejection, as well as those who are not too religiously ardent, but do not want a worldwide gay pride parade.
And he wants an old-fashioned conservative world, where men are masculine, women are feminine, marriage is honest and the bed is immaculate, and ugliness is directly called ugliness and swinishness is swinishness.
Still, for the time being, the majority of sinful and everyday humanity prefers the ideal of the Madonna to the ideal of Sodom, and a country that professes just such a preference in no uncertain terms will be more honored than a country of obscene ugliness.
Here we are not talking about intrusive missionary work - the West is just doing it - but simply about the approval of natural law.
“The human soul is by nature a Christian” (albeit with all the sins and falls), and if Russia defends the human right to traditional naturalness, peoples will be drawn to it.
Obviously, the current crisis, in which the collective West is no longer a highly artistic spectacle, has accelerated the Kremlin's decision to promote natural law.
