the lights in the hall are dimmed, we are waiting for the start. the most inaccessible monastery in the leningrad region, the makarevsky monastery was built back in the 16th century in the middle of swamps, there is still no running water there, and electricity is only from a generator, but this year the temple may be completely cut off from the mainland, why, sergei zagadsky found out, is the only vehicle capable overcome 8 km of broken, flooded road, where unexpectedly golden domes rise above the edge of the forest. makarevskaya hermitage is called the most inaccessible monastery in the leningrad region. there is almost no connection, electricity is only from the generator, instead there is silence and peace. father and son and holy spirit, forever and ever. amen. the abbot of the monastery and monk macarius can talk for hours about the wooden church, about the walls polished by the hands of the village carpenter, about the icons and about the main shrine, the relics of the holy venerable macarius the roman. natives of italy, he came to russia a century ago, became a student of alexander svirsky, received a blessing and founded

a quiet monastery far from the bustle of the world, and before that he spent many years completely alone on a small island in the middle of a huge swamp, in labors and prayers, from the monastery to this island 3 km in a straight line, through tresina, and you and i now come to the path along which people used to walk, why was it made, because in that place many, many... centuries ago , the monk makari got involved, a century and a half ago the island in the middle of the swamp and the monastery on its edge were very revered among believers , now it is difficult to imagine in real life what photographs of the late 19th century captured, a large and endless stream of pilgrims, at the same time a stone two-story fraternal building with a house church was built here. people have torn apart this two-story building, brick by brick, and now we need to look at it all. where the foundation goes, you and

i will walk, you can see the foundation, the foundation blocks, if you walk a little, you and i will find ourselves in the altar. take apart people started building the monastery on brick about 30 years ago, when everything fell into complete disrepair. the century generally swept through the makarevskaya desert with a series of shocks. after the revolution, the monastery had a sverlag department, then a psychoneurological boarding school. in 1941 , the front line passed right through the former monastery. german invader. they began with the execution of boarding school patients, and the monastery buildings were turned into fortresses. the red army soldiers stormed them for 2 years in a row, in the surrounding forests and swamps there is still almost no iron more than stones. piston. and from our tank, you see, this is when the ammunition detonates, the tank explodes, in the spring and autumn search engines come to the makarevskaya hermitage, go into the surrounding forests and swamps, return back with the remains of tens and hundreds of soldiers missing in heavy battles,

help the monks restore the monasteries from ruins, this process began about 15 years ago, new buildings grew on the old foundations, the first stone church in the history of the monastery appeared, it is true that it is not yet completed, there are not enough hands, and most importantly, funds, everything is on donation through the efforts of volunteers, all this needs to be cut out, cleared, it will be necessary to re-sow through the nets there are, such a large sieve is made, we will separate the brick from the earth and we will restore it, now the monastery has three permanent inhabitants, two monks and a worker, he... 19 years, and the twentieth meeting, it happens that

when we look at the archives, we get the feeling that this was chronicled. it was a really very interesting time, we are very honored that all these 20 meetings, in my opinion, there was not a single time that you missed and we haven’t met our valdai colleagues, there are those in the room who have met with you before, and for the first time, and there are those who have met for the first time , and i will be very happy to invite you to express your current opinion. thank you very much, dear participants of the plenary session, colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, i am glad to welcome you all to sochi

at the anniversary, as our presenter has just said, the twentieth annual meeting of international dissi. our or one might say your forum, which traditionally brought together politicians from scientists, experts and public figures from many countries of the world, again confirm the high status of a sought-after intellectual platform. the valdean discussions are always a reflection of the most important processes of world politics of the century, in all their completeness and complexity, i am sure it will be so today, well, it was already, probably, today in the previous days, when you discussed among yourself, so it will be today, so will continue to be so, because we are essentially faced with the task

of building a new world; at such defining stages, the role and responsibility of rituals, such as you, dear colleagues, is extremely great, over the years of work of the club and in the world, in our country, as has just been said, serious, if not huge, colossal changes have occurred, by historical standards, a period of 20 years, not so long, not so long, but when it falls during the era of the breakdown of the entire world order, time seems to be compressed, and i think you will agree: that in these 20 years more events have happened than in other times happens in many, many, many decades, and these changes are qualitative, requiring radical changes in the principles themselves international relations, at the beginning of the 20th century, everyone hoped that the state and peoples had learned

lessons from the costly and destructive military-ideological confrontation of the last century, realized its... destructiveness, and felt the fragility of the interconnectedness of our entire planet. we are convinced that the global problems of humanity require joint action to find collective solutions, and selfishness, conceit, and neglect of real challenges will inevitably lead or will lead us to a dead end. just like an attempt by the stronger to impose their own on others ideas and interests. it should be. should have become obvious to everyone, should have become obvious, but it turned out that this is not so, no, this is not so, when we first met with at a club meeting, almost 20 years ago, our country was entering a new stage of its development, russia had overcome the most difficult

period of recovery after the collapse of the ussr. we , with all our energy and good will, became involved in the processes of building a new, as it seemed to us, more equitable world order. fortunately, our country is able to contribute to them a huge contribution, since we have something to offer our friends, partners, the world, unfortunately, our readiness for constructive interaction was misunderstood by some , understood as submission, as agreement that the new order will be built by those who declared themselves winners in cold war, in essence, as a recognition that russia is ready to follow someone else’s lead, is ready to be guided not by its own national interests, but by the interests of others, all these years we

have warned more than once that this approach leads not only to a dead end, it is fraught with the growing threat of a military conflict, but no one was going to listen to us, no one wanted to, the arrogance of our so-called partners in the west, you know, was just off the charts, it’s impossible to say otherwise, the usa and its satellites firmly set their course towards hegemony, military, political, economic, cultural, even moral and value-based. it was clear to us from the very beginning that attempts to establish a monopoly were doomed to failure; the world was too complex and diverse to be subordinated to one scheme, even behind it lies the power, the enormous power of the west, accumulated over centuries of colonial policy. well, here are your colleagues, many are absent here, but they do not deny that the prosperity

of the west was largely achieved thanks to the robbery of the colonies over the centuries, but this is a fact, in fact, this level of development was achieved to a large extent - due to robbery of the entire planet, the history of the west is essentially a chronicle of endless expansion, western influence in the world is a huge military-financial pyramid, it’s constantly we need new fuel to support ourselves, natural, technological, human resources belonging to others, so the west simply cannot stop and had no intention of doing so, our arguments , exhortations, calls to reason, proposals were simply ignored, i already spoke about this publicly on our allies, our partners, there was a moment when your humble servant simply suggested that maybe

we should join nato, but no, nato doesn’t need such a country, no, what else, we thought that we already have yours, excuse me, how do you we are popularly told by the bourgeoisie, why is there no more ideological confrontation, what is the problem? apparently the problem is in geopolitical interests and an arrogant attitude towards others, that’s the problem: self-confidence, that’s the problem , we have to respond to the constantly growing military-political pressure, i have said more than once that we did not start the so -called war in ukraine, on the contrary, we are trying to finish it, we did not stage a coup in kiev in 2014 , a bloody, anti-constitutional coup, where no matter what happens, we always immediately hear all

the world's means, subordinated, well, first of all, of course, to the anglo-saxon world , this is not possible, it is impossible, it is anti-democratic, but here it is possible, they even named the money, the amount of money spent on this coup, everything it’s possible, at that time we were supporting the crimeans and sevastopol residents. we did not stage a coup and we did not intimidate the crimeans and sevastopol residents with ethnic cleansing in the nazi spirit. it was not we who tried to force the donbass into obedience through shelling and bombing. we weren't the ones who made the threats crack down on those who want to speak their native language. listen, well, here are all informed, literate people, it’s good to use your brains, excuse the maviton, to fool millions. people who perceive reality from the media, well, you know what happened, for 9 years they bombed

, shot, used tanks, war, natural war against and no one counted the dead children in donbass, no one in other countries, especially in the west, i didn’t cry for the dead. war launched by the kiev regime with the active direct support of the west is now in its tenth year, and the special military operation is aimed at stopping it; it reminds that unilateral steps, no matter who... takes them, will inevitably be met with retaliatory actions, actions , as we know, gives rise to opposition, this is what any responsible state, a sovereign , independent, self-respecting country does, everyone is aware that in an international system where arbitrariness reigns, where everything is decided

by the one who has renewed himself as exceptional, sinless and the only one... anyone can be under attack, simply for the reason that this or that country was not liked by the hegemon, who has lost his sense of the world and add a sense of reality. unfortunately, we have to admit that our counterparties in the west have lost their sense of reality, they have crossed all possible boundaries, in vain. the ukrainian crisis is not a territorial conflict, i want to emphasize this. russia is the largest country in the world, with the largest territory. we have no interests in terms of winning any additional territories, we still have to develop siberia, eastern siberia, and the far east. this is not a territorial conflict, or even the establishment of a regional geopolitical

balance. the question is much broader and more fundamental. we are talking about the principles on which the new world order will be based. lasting peace will only be established when everyone begins to feel safe, understand that their opinions are respected, and that there is a balance in the world, when no one is able, of their own free will, to force, force others to live and behave in a way that as the hegemon pleases. in such a scheme, the very concept: any sovereignty is simply denied, thrown, excuse me, into the trash. it is obvious that adherence to the bloc approach, the desire to drive the world into a situation of constant confrontation, us, them, the vicious legacy of the 20th century, is a product of western political culture, at least its most aggressive manifestations.

i repeat, the west always needs an enemy, well, a certain one. part, a certain part of the west, a certain part of the western elites, needs an enemy to fight against which can be explained the need for forceful action and expansion, but, but it is also needed to maintain internal control in a certain system, this very hegenmon, within blocs, within nato or other military-political blocs. there is an enemy, everyone must rally around the boss, eh. it’s not our business how other states live, but we see, we see how in many of them the ruling elites force society to accept norms and rules that the citizens themselves, at least a large number of citizens, in some countries can accurately, completely

to say, the majority of citizens do not want to accept, i force them, constantly inventing reasons for this, finding external culprits, growing internal... problems, inventing and inflating non-existent threats, while russia is a favorite topic of such politicians, we are certainly accustomed to this, historically they’re used to it, but they’re trying to create the image of an enemy out of everyone, out of everyone who is not ready to blindly follow these western elites, out of anyone, from the people’s republic of china, in certain situations, at a certain moment... from india from the same place, now they are flirting, of course, we understand this perfectly well, we feel and see the situation in asia, everything is clear, well, there, uh, the indian leadership, i want to say, is independent, very nationally oriented, i think that these attempts do not make any sense

, but nevertheless, they continue, they are trying to mold an enemy out of the arab world, they are also selectively, well, trying to act carefully, but nevertheless, in general - this is what it all comes down to, and even from muslims in general they are trying to mold some kind of hostile environment, and so on, virtually anyone. anyone who behaves independently, follows its own interests, and instantly turns into an obstacle for these western elites that must be eliminated. artificial geopolitical structures are being imposed on the world and closed bloc formats are being created. we see this in europe, where for decades now an impudent line has been pursued to expand nato, as well as in the asia-pacific region and southern asia, where they are trying to... break the open and inclusive architecture of cooperation, the bloc approach, let's call a spade a spade

- this is a limitation rights of freedoms of states to own development, an attempt to drive them into a certain cage of obligations, this is to a certain extent, but this is an obvious thing, taking away part of the sovereignty, and then very often imposing decisions... in other areas, in addition to the security sphere and primarily in the economic sphere, well, how this is what is happening now in the relationship between the united states and europe. there is no need to explain; if necessary, during the discussion, after my opening remarks, we will talk about this in more detail. to do this, they are trying to replace international law with the order, what order, based. their rules, what rules, what kind of rules they are, who invented them is completely incomprehensible, but this is just some kind of nonsense, but they are trying to introduce into

the consciousness of millions of people, we must live by the rules, what rules, and in general, if if you please, our western colleagues, especially from the usa, do not just establish such arbitrary rules, but at the same time teach, who? and how they should be performed, who and how should behave in general, this is all done and said, as a rule, in an openly boorish form, this is all the same manifestation of this colonial colonial thinking , we hear all the time, it sounds all the time, you must, you must, we are seriously warning you, who are you anyway, what right do you have to warn someone? this is simply amazing, maybe it’s for those who say this, maybe it’s time for you

to get rid of arrogance, pass it on, stop behaving in relation to the world community in such a way, which perfectly understands its tasks, its interests, it’s time to get rid of this this thinking. era of colonial rule, i would like to say, wipe it eyes, this era has long ended, and will never return again, never. i will say more, over the centuries, such behavior led to the reproduction of the same thing, large wars, for the justification of which various ideological, or even pseudo, were invented... today this is especially dangerous, humanity has means that, as we know, can easily destroy all planet, and manipulation of consciousness on an incredible scale

leads to a loss of a sense of reality, we certainly need to get out of this vicious circle, we need to look for some way out, as i understand it, dear friends and colleagues, for this you are gathering at the valdeya site, in the foreign policy concept. adopted this year, our country was characterized as a distinctive state of civilization. this formulation accurately and succinctly reflects how we understand not only our own development, but also the basic principles of the world order for victory, which we hope for. in our understanding, civilization is a multifaceted phenomenon. it is certainly interpreted. differently there was also an openly colonial interpretation: there is a certain civilized world that serves as a model for the rest, everyone must follow

these standards, these models ; those who do not agree will be driven into civilization with the baton of an enlightened master. those days, as i just said, are over. and our understanding of civilization is completely different, firstly, there are many civilizations, and none of them is better or worse than the other. they have equal rights as exponents of the aspirations of their cultures and traditions, their peoples, but for us this is our own, for me, for example, this is an aspiration of our, my people, of which i was lucky enough to become a part, outstanding thinkers all over the world , adherents of a civilized, civilizational approach have reflected and continue to reflect on the concept

of civilization, for such reasoning, let’s try to describe it in relation to today, well, substantively, i’ll try to do this, the main qualities of the state of civilization, diversity and self-sufficiency, these are the two main components, in my opinion, any unification, every state and society is alien to the modern world. want independently develop your own path of development, based on culture and traditions, strengthened in geography, historical experience, both ancient and modern, in the values ​​of the people, this is a complex synthesis in the process of which an original civilizational community arises, its heterogeneity, diversity is the key to sustainability and development. russia has been developing as a country over the centuries.

into different cultures, religions, nationalities, russian civilization cannot be reduced to one common denominator, but it cannot be divide, because it exists only in its integrity, spiritual and cultural wealth. maintaining the strong unity of such a state is not an easy task; over the centuries we have had the most difficult trials, but we have always overcome them, sometimes. at a very high cost, but we invariably learned lessons for the future, strengthening our national unity and the integrity of the russian state, today this experience is truly invaluable, the world is becoming more and more diverse, with simple ways of governing, combing everyone into one comb, as we say, which some states are used to with all the complexity of the processes, which is very important, yes... at the same time, a truly effective and

durable state system cannot be imposed from the outside, it grows naturally from the civilizational roots of countries peoples, and russia in this regard, is an example of how this happens in life , in practice, a civilizational support, a necessary condition for success in the modern world, a chaotic world, unfortunately, a dangerous one that has lost... its guidelines, more and more states come to exactly this conclusion, realizing their own interests, needs, opportunities and limitations, their identity and the degree of interconnectedness with the outside world. i am convinced that humanity is moving not towards fragmentation into competing segments, not towards a new bloc confrontation, no matter what motivates it, not towards the soulless universalism of a new globalization. on the contrary,

the world is on the way to a synergy of states of civilization, large spaces, communities that recognize themselves as such. together with however, civilization is not a universal construction, one for all, this does not happen, each of them is different from the others, each is self-sufficient culturally, draws its ideological and value principles from its own history in its own... self-respect follows from respect unconditionally to others, but this means respect on the part of others, therefore civilization does not impose anything on anyone, but also does not allow anything to be imposed on itself, if everyone adheres to exactly this rule, this will ensure harmonious coexistence and creative interaction of all participants in international relations. and of course, protecting

your civilizational choice is a huge responsibility. this concerns responding to external encroachments, establishing close and constructive relationships with other civilizational communities, and most importantly, maintaining internal stability and harmony. after all, we all see that the international environment today, as i already said, unfortunately, is both unstable and quite aggressive. and one more very important thing, your... civilization, of course, it cannot be given to anyone, this is also the path to general chaos, it is unnatural, i... disgusting, i would say. for our part, we have always tried and are trying to offer solutions that would take into account the interests of everyone, but our interlocutors in the west seem to have completely forgotten that there are such concepts as reasonable self-restraints, compromises, readiness to give in something in order to achieve something acceptable

to everyone there is no result, they are literally obsessed with only one thing: to push, to push, and at any cost here now your interests. well, if that's their choice, let's see what happens. the paradox is that tomorrow the situation may change, that’s the problem. for example, there will be internal political shifts after the next elections. here the country insists on something, pushes through its own actions to prevent it from happening, and tomorrow internal changes occur. with the same pressure and unceremoniousness, something completely different is pushed through, sometimes the exact opposite. the most striking example is the iranian nuclear program, one administration pushed through one

decision, another one came, everything was turned around, everything went in the opposite direction. how to work in such conditions? where are the guidelines, what is the operation for? where are the guarantees? are these the same rules that we are told about? well, this is some kind of nonsense, why is all this happening? and why doesn't this bother anyone? because strategic thinking has been replaced by following short-term, selfish interests, not even of the nations of the people, their successive groups, their successive groups of influence. hence, incredible by previous standards. by previous cold war standards, irresponsibility behavior of political elites, who have often forgotten fear and shame, and consider themselves absolutely sinless, the civilizational approach resists such trends, because it is based on the fundamental, long-term

interests of the state of peoples, interests that are dictated not by a seven-minute ideological conjuncture, but by all historical experience and heritage of the past, on which... the idea of ​​a harmonious future is based, if everyone is guided by this, there will be much fewer conflicts in the world, in my opinion, and methods for resolving them will become much more rational, because every civilization respects, as i already said, others, and does not try to change anyone according to its own ideas, i read with interest, dear friends, the report prepared by the valdai klug, the club for the current meeting, it says that today everyone strives to understand, to imagine an image of the future, this is completely natural and understandable, especially for the intellectual environment, in an era of fundamental changes, when

the entire familiar way of life is collapsing, it is very important to realize where we are going, what we want to achieve, and of course, the future is being created today, not only before our eyes, with our hands, of course, when we are talking about such gigantic , incredibly complex processes, it is difficult, or almost impossible, to predict the result, no matter what we do, life will contribute, certainly have their own adjustments, but at least we must be aware of what we are striving for, what we want to achieve, and there is such an understanding in russia, firstly, we want... in an open, interconnected world in which no one and will never try to build artificial barriers to the communication of people, their creative realization and prosperity, there must be a barrier-free environment, this is what we must strive for, secondly, we want

the diversity of the world not just to be preserved, but to be the foundation of universal development, imposed on any country or people, as they like live. how to feel should be prohibited; only true cultural and civilizational diversity will ensure the welfare of people and a balance of interests. third, we are for maximum representation. no one has the right, and no one can rule the world for others or on behalf of others. the world of the future is a world of collective decisions made at the level at which they are most effective and for those participants who are truly capable of making a significant contribution to resolving a specific problem, not one person decides for everyone, and not everyone even decides

about everything, but those , whom... we are for universal security and lasting peace built on respect for the interests of everyone from great big states to small countries, the main thing is to free international relations from the bloc approach, from the legacy of colonial era and the cold war, we have been talking about indivisibility for decades. that it is impossible to ensure the safety of some at the expense of the safety of others, and indeed, harmony in this area is achievable, you just need to put aside pride, arrogance and stop looking at others as second-class partners, or as outcasts or savages. fifth, we are for justice for all. the era of exploitation, whoever it is, i've already said this twice. in the past, countries and peoples are clearly

aware of their interests and capabilities and are ready rely on yourself, and this increases strength, everyone should be provided with access to the benefits of modern development and attempts to limit it for any country or people should be considered an act of aggression, that’s right, sixth, we are for equality, for the difference in the potentials of different... this absolutely objective factor, but no less objective is the fact that no one is anymore ready to obey , to make their interests and needs dependent on anyone, and above all on the richer or stronger, and this is not just the natural state of international community, this is the quintessence of the entire historical experience of mankind, these are the principles that we want to adhere to ourselves, to which we invite

everyone to join. our friends and colleagues, dear colleagues, russia was, is and will be one of the foundations of the world system, ready for constructive interaction with everyone who strives for peace and prosperity, ready for tough opposition to those who profess the principles of dictatorship of violence, we are confident that pragmatism... and common sense will triumph, and a multipolar world will be established, in conclusion, i want to express my gratitude to the furum organizations, as always, for the thorough, high-quality preparation, to all participants in the anniversary meeting, i want to say thank you for your attention, thank you very much, continuation of the discussion in the program:

60 minutes, on air your favorite program 60 minutes, about the most important thing, so putin’s fundamental statements that will determine our lives for a long time , let’s look, if possible, to follow up on your speech, well, of course, a very interesting part dedicated to civilizations and the civilizational approach, you once they said, long ago, a very, very vivid phrase that the russian border does not end anywhere.

if russia's borders do not end, then russian and russian civilization, apparently there is nothing to talk about here at all , that's how to understand this, where is it, you know, this was said for the first time in a conversation with one of the former presidents of the united states, i there are houses there, it was said jokingly, of course, when he looked at the map of the russian federation, we all know that i want to repeat this, russia remains the largest country in the world in terms of territory, but - well, if seriously, then of course, this, first of all, has a civilizational meaning, there are many of our compatriots, the russian world, it has a global character, the russian language is one of the official languages ​​of the un, in latin america alone, just now we met with parliamentarians, 300,000 lives of our compatriots, they are everywhere in asia and africa, in europe, of course, in north

america, therefore, if we speak seriously, to repeat, then in a civilizational sense.... of course, there are no borders, well, just like that, just like there are no borders, all other civilizations, well, take india or china, well, how many representatives of china live in other countries of the world, and how many representatives of india live in other countries of the world, this all intersects, interacts with each other, it is very good if this the interaction will be natural and friendly. aimed at strengthening this state, that is, civilization for you is not territory, but people, yes, of course, first of all, these are people, because ours, there will probably be many questions about ukraine now, our actions, on in the same donbass, first of all, they are dictated and mainly by protecting people, this

is the whole point of ours here, in this case you can characterize a special military operation as a conflict... a conflict, well, this is first of all, i don’t know what kind of civilization there is they are protected by those who are on the other side of the front line, on the other side of the front line, but we are protecting our traditions , our culture, our people, well, just since we immediately moved on to ukraine, today, in my opinion, a big event begins in spain , european, the issue is being discussed there, well continuation of support for ukraine, now, as we know, in the united states some replacement happened due to the crisis in congress, so in europe it seems to me that they felt that they would have to take the funding

themselves, do you think they can handle it, and what are we waiting for? from this? well, we are waiting for the manifestation of at least some sprouts of common sense, as for whether they can cope or not, they need to be asked, but of course they can cope, which i don’t see as a problem, the problem is to expand production, to increase the amount of money that goes to the war and prolongs this conflict, but of course there are problems, for this audience, it seems to me, they are understandable, and these problems are known. if in the usa, as you said, there is a hitch, it is more of a technical nature, well, the politics are technical, so to speak, but the reason is that there are problems with the budget, a large debt load, the budget needs to be balanced, the question

is at the expense what to balance, either by supplying weapons to ukraine to reduce budget expenses, or by cutting social expenses, but no one wants to cut social expenses, especially , especially this seems to strengthen the position of the opposition parties, the opposition party in this case, that’s all, well, in the end, they’ll probably find the money, print more, they printed it for for. .. during the covid period, they printed more than nine trillion dollars , so printing something else and scattering it all over the world, increasing food inflation, costs nothing for them, they will do it for sure, as for, as for europe, here

the situation is more complicated, because if in the usa we still observe economic growth over the previous period of 2, gdp, then in europe the situation is much worse, there over the past, last twenty-first year, or rather, economic growth was 4.9%, this year it will be 0.5. and then, only at the expense of the southern countries, at the expense of italy and spain, which showed a slight increase, yesterday we spoke with our experts there about this, i think that the growth in italy and spain is primarily associated with rising prices for property with a certain rise tourism sector, in the main economies of europe, there is stagnation , there is a minus in all industries, the federal republic is -01, in the baltic countries there is -2 -3 even,

in estonia, in my opinion -3, well, in holland in austria there is a minus everywhere, especially big minus in the field of industrial production, there, well, if not a catastrophe, then a very difficult situation, in the sphere of real production, especially in the chemical industry, in the beekeeping industry. metallurgical, well, we know that due to the low cost, but relatively cheap energy resources in the united states and some decisions of an administrative and financial nature, many production facilities from europe simply move to the united states , close in europe and move to the united states, this is well known, this is what i hinted at when speaking here, from this rostrum, the load is growing on the population of european countries, this is also an obvious thing, this is data

from european statistics itself, the standard of living is falling, recently it has decreased in recent months, in my opinion it has decreased by one and a half, one and a half, one and a half percent, but that’s why europe may or may not, maybe due to what , due to, due to the deterioration, further deterioration of its economy and the lives of citizens of european states, but well, our budget is not rubber either, we can handle it, unlike them, we we are coping for now, i have reason to believe that we will cope in the future, in the third quarter of this year we had a surplus of over 660 billion rubles, this is the first and second, we will ultimately , by the end of the year, have a certain deficit, well, somewhere- then around 1%, for the nearest ones,

years twenty-four, twenty-five, somewhere we expect that the deficit will be somewhere around this 1%. we have record low unemployment, 3% has established, stabilized, and what is very important. this is a key point, maybe we will return to this again, but i think this is an important , fundamental, fundamental phenomenon in our economy. naturally, we began a structural restructuring of the economy, because what we previously received from european countries was imported , a lot was closed for us, and we, just like in 2014, introduced certain restrictions on... the purchase of western european, primarily agricultural goods, we were forced to invest money in the development of agricultural production within

the country, and inflation jumped, but then we ensured that our producers increased production of the goods we needed, and today you know, we we provide ourselves fully with all the main agricultural products, completely in the main... types of food, the same thing is now happening in the sphere of real production in industry and the main growth is coming from manufacturing industries, oil and gas revenues have fallen, but they also provide plus 3%, and non-oil and gas revenues, especially in processing industries, plus 43%. and this is, first of all, the steel industry , this is optics, this is electronics, we need to do a lot in the field of microelectronics, we are really still at the beginning of our journey, but it is already
