[000:00:30;00] the west is manipulating the ratings of universities and luring talented students from asia and africa, the head of the foreign intelligence service, sergei naryshkin, said this at the eastern economic forum. according to him, the west is thereby preventing the development of the educational systems of the countries of the east and the south. what was also discussed at the conference: colonialism in the east and its impact on the modern world.

watch it now. dear friends this year the theme of the traditional conference of the russian historical society within the framework of the eastern economic forum has been chosen history of the struggle of asian countries with colonial policy and its consequences in the economic, political and social spheres, the long-overdue transition to a new multipolar world order inevitably faces resistance from the beneficiaries of the previous one. well, the colonial system, in order to overcome this barrier to a more just world order, it is necessary to turn to the origins of the conviction of the so-called collective west in its right to establish a global is a confidence based on disrespect for others

peoples and cultures are often dictated to western countries by deeply erroneous steps aimed at preserving their supposedly privileged status, false theses, and the lack of alternative to the western path of development and the historical predetermination of western dominance in international affairs. they have already caused considerable damage and suffering to all humanity, which is why today it is so important to summarize the experience of national liberation movements in asian countries and to analyze the role of the soviet union and its partners in the elimination of colonial rule. systems to focus on examples of interstate cooperation. non-western countries should also develop alternative principles of the world order, based on mutual respect

and sovereignty and true equality of all participants in international relations ; neocolonial approaches in the fields of education and science are certainly an equally serious challenge; the lack of objectivity, which sometimes outgrows cheating, when ranking the world's leading universities, hindering the development of national education systems and unscrupulous poaching of talented youth from asian and african countries is turning many non-western societies into forced donors of intellectual capital . i hope that today’s conference will allow us to take a fresh look at these difficult issues and share the best practices of members of the russian historical society in terms of studying the history of colonialism. exchange

expert opinions and learn useful, sought-after lessons from the past. i wish you success and all the best. dear colleagues. i would like to offer to speak to to the next uh, greetings to the deputy minister of science of higher education of the russian federation and co-chairman of the russian historical society mogilevsky konstantin ilyich dear colleagues from year to year thanks to the support of the organizers of the eastern economic forum. presidential administration government of russia roscongress of the far eastern federal university, as part of the traditional documentary exhibitions and conferences of the russian historical society, bringing together professional historians from

different countries of the world. uh, these discussions do not just precede the discussion of current political and economic issues, but , in my opinion, contribute to the formation of a deeper and more holistic view of multilateral relations in the asia-pacific region. most recently, on september 3, we celebrated the seventy -eighth anniversary of victory in the second world war, which was finally won here in the far east, the defeat of german nazism and japanese militarism, carried out thanks to the decisive contribution the soviet union allowed the world to make a fundamental assessment of both the criminal race and the doctrines and former western colonial practices. just a few years after the great victory, dozens of peoples in asia and africa were able to embark on the path of free and sovereign development; those times it seemed that the era of colonial rule

had sunk into oblivion forever. however, today’s policies of the countries of the so-called collective west make the whole world feel the effect of déjà vu the renaissance of former colonial approaches based on the division of humanity into two unequal parts is acutely felt in many areas of international relations, not excluding educational cooperation. for example, it is no secret that the western approach to the export of education comes down to importing the smartest and most talented young people into western states from non-western states; they are taken away by their personal prospects. and what the donor gets as a result of the state is simply nothing. while the russian approach is exactly the opposite , we rely on training capable foreigners.

we then gave them the opportunity to return to their homeland and realize themselves there. thus, russia helps its international partners and gets reliable friends who can no longer be deceived by all sorts of fakes about our country, you know, they saw it with their own eyes and lived here the most interesting years of their lives. guided by the instructions of the president of the russian federation vladimir vladimirovich putin, my russian science number actively supports scientific research into the history of colonialism ; many of our leaders have already joined this work academic institutes and universities, which are always open to cooperation with interested foreign partners , i hope that some of the results of these studies will be presented at today’s conference. dear colleagues , our next welcoming, welcoming chairman of the board of the russian historical society, executive director of the foundation for the history of the fatherland, doctor

of historical sciences ruslan grigorievich gokuev. good afternoon, dear friends, good afternoon , dear colleagues. and above all. let me to greet all participants of our conference on behalf of the russian historical society. during our conference, which traditionally takes place on the sidelines of the eastern economic forum. today we will touch upon not only the history of the crimes of western colonialists against the peoples of asia, but also history. uh, the national liberation struggle against colonialism, and i would like to invite all participants today to definitely look at the documentary exhibition that opened here as

part of. and it can be seen when moving from building, and building b. i think we will show everyone this exhibition today. and historians know that back in the eighteenth century , asia was the center of world economic development, only in the mid-19th century after the industrial revolution that took place , the countries of western europe took over. the first position in a number of key economic indicators. but this leadership was achieved not so much thanks to fair competition. how many thanks to the fact that many not western countries are hot. uh, the west received additional resources for its primacy.

we all remember well the cruel exploitation of india by great britain, and we remember the expedition that commander fairey undertook to the shores of japan when he imposed cannons on osaka after the bombing. e unfair, a free trade agreement. and the three brutal colonial wars that took place in burma turned a prosperous country into a colonially dependent colony. soviet union e. throughout its history it has provided great assistance, uh, in the anti-cow fight. the ussr helped many of the states to choose their own path of development based on those traditional national values ​​that existed in these countries. and from the very beginning of its existence, the soviet

state turned to the peoples of asia, africa and the arab countries in the twenty-first year. the communist institute was opened in moscow, within the framework of which many future political leaders of asian countries received their education ; just remember e.g. ho chi minh city first president of the democratic republic of vietnam or lydia, leader of the communist party. indonesia dana milk. and tens of thousands of specialists received future specialists who were educated in the soviet union, these are engineers, doctors, agronomists, who were able to direct their knowledge to help their countries get rid of colonial dependence ; moreover, thanks to these specialists, the countries were able to eventually take their strong

place in post-colonial world. today, is it obvious that the memory of the anti-colonial struggle is? about the assistance provided by the soviet the union leads to the fact that the countries of asia refuse to join the cagul company for the international isolation of russia. and we know that in the countries of asia we will always find reliable partners and true friends dear colleagues. uh, now we welcome the rector of the far eastern federal university, doctor of technical sciences , professor karabets illness nikolaevich, thank you very much, dear friends, dear colleagues. i am glad to welcome you within the walls. this is not the eastern federal university and i am sure that our conference will be real pearl of the eastern economic forum. in my opinion this. there are at least three

reasons: the first is that brilliant expert staff, leading specialists of our country and our friends from the asia-pacific region are gathered here. secondly , our conference is probably taking place at the most difficult turning point in the history of global geopolitical transformation. well, thirdly, it is no coincidence that we gathered in vladimir, an outpost of our country in the asia-pacific region in the far east, this is the city in which it would seem just 100 years ago , the interests of the largest colonial powers collided. and this is our story. quite recently, the president of the russian federation, vladimir vladimirovich putin, spoke a lot about the need to preserve historical memory, and it seems to me that today’s conference or our entire subsequent discussion will continue in this vein. we definitely need to remember our history and be sure to appreciate what we

have now to move towards our future together dear colleagues. i would like to provide word to the chairman of the far eastern branch of the russian academy of sciences, vice-president academician yuri nikolaevich kulchin. it's my pleasure. on behalf of the excellent team of the far eastern branch of the russian academy of sciences, i would like to congratulate all participants in the conference. the problems that the conference raises are extremely interesting, because the concept of deviations is probably multifaceted, that is, it exists. positive, if there are negative aspects, i am here in my greeting. i would like to touch on one very important issue. this pseudo colonization. eh, the far east of russia, yes, because why i really want to do this, because i am a descendant of those people who came here, that is, from the central part of russia and who, in fact, developed, so this territory must be said that, of course this settlement of russia and the far east. it was a

lot for this region to become prosperous and very important. well, firstly, of course, the years that have passed since the start of the resettlement, the number of people the far east was t4 times higher than the birth rate even in the soviet union. in addition to this, the creation of the far eastern railway. well, it made it possible to connect the regions together, uh, open up new territories for development. general fisheries resources of the pacific ocean. in addition, this means, of course, that the cultural and educational level of the population has increased significantly. well, what’s also very important is that the territory of the far east has become independent, and i think that’s what i’m talking about here at this conference. you can, of course, raise questions, not only about russia , yes, but probably also questions related to china , japan and other asian countries where not

always. the issues of colonization played a positive role. therefore, i would like to wish you all really wonderful wonderful reports, very fruitful discussions and, probably, very correct decisions that will allow us, uh, to form the basis of russia’s future policy here in the far east. thank you, dear colleagues. as you know, at our conference there are a number of representatives of states friendly to us, moreover, states of the so-called global south, which are very important and play a big role in world politics. among them. uh, a delegation from a state friendly to us. uh, the republic of the union of myanmar is not enough headed by the minister of industry mr. charlie there, i ask him to make a greeting. your

excellencies dear gentlemen, ministers deputy ministers academicians representatives of universities of various countries, distinguished speakers, distinguished guests ladies gentlemen, i have the honor to warmly welcome you. i am very pleased to have the opportunity to talk a little about the issue of colonialism and without a doubt, i would like to focus on two key elements in my speech, firstly. colonialism in myanmar was of great historical significance . i would also like to say a few words regarding its current consequences and

talk about how it affected various facets of our education system. in particular, higher education , professional education , lawyers, doctors, representatives of the administration technical specialties, as you all know, colonialism in myanmar dates back to the beginning of the 19th century, when the british first turned their attention to our country. the first anglo-german war of 1824-26 marked the beginning of british colonial rule and had serious consequences for the people. was deeply saddened by this tragic situation. the poet sibanu composed

a poem which signified this destruction of the thrones of overthrow. cities and it is better to die than to live. was under british rule for more than a century until declaration of independence in 1948. this, of course, affected the fabric, political and economic, as well as social, firstly we are talking about economic exploitation. the british took away a huge amount of natural resources, particularly minerals . this has led to economic

inequality. and also to the impoverishment of many myanmar citizens , there were also changes in the socio-economic identity of our people because the british imposed their traditions and their language on our people, which led to the erosion of traditional culture. and the practitioner and these consequences continue to be felt as it relates to our identity. this also creates problems in preserving our rich cultural heritage. the political landscape was also transformed under colonial influence; the british created a centralized administrative system that undermined traditional systems of self-government. the administrative

situation ignored ethical issues and resulted in ethnic tensions that still exist in our country today gentlemen, let me move on. to the second element of my speech to the consequences of colonialism the most important legacy of colonialism. the impact on the educational system of the british colonial administration created an educational system that suited their interests, it was about the need to train effective bureaucrats who could meet the needs of the british administration. this led in particular to the destruction of the connection between the educational system, on the one hand, and cultural the values ​​of our country, our society, the

same goes for technical vocational training, the british did not prioritize technical education, which, of course, dealt a blow to the development of our country. this has prevented us from creating a skilled workforce and achieving verbal competitiveness. economy and we observed that education was also becoming more and more divorced from the traditional values ​​of the horse, of course. this was necessary in order to achieve modernization, however at the same time, the traditional elements of education were ignored and the consequences

of such changes cannot be overestimated; a bureaucratic structure was introduced, which relied on the centralization of efficiency in the discipline. and, of course, all this took place under the serious influence of british administration models. when i think about the long-term consequences of colonialism in myanmar, i must acknowledge that the historical context has shaped. both the difficulties that we now face and the opportunities that our people have. despite everything, he tries to preserve his culture. and reform the education system conclusion the impact of colonization in myanmar

is extremely deep and is felt many years later and, of course, this is due to the introduction of western education. vocational education system also administrative education social cultural changes economic dependence export oriented economies factors such as industrialization land use legacy of economic inequality limited industrialization also activities christian missionaries at the same time, myanmar is a country that can boast of resilience, and it overcomes these challenges on our father, it is our responsibility to support this fight for the sake of a brighter future and finally.

let me remind you. and in the words of mahatma gandhi we need enough, to satisfy the needs of every person, but not the greed of every person. thank you , dear colleagues, we are starting the scientific program. our first speaker is academician vitaly vyacheslavovich naumkin. uh, who are we? his report once again about the state of civilization. thank you very much nikolai nikolaevich this is the topic of my speech. eh, it seems that you can be a little bit detached from the problem of colonialism. in fact, it is closely related to our country's overcoming the colonial legacy. well, this is a topical topic, at least, because our president vladimir vladimirovich putin not so long ago voiced

this concept, and the state of civilization, such as what the russian federation really is. this topic is becoming more and more relevant and today attracts the attention of our researchers, who in this vein they work exactly like our colleagues from china and some other states who also want to join the ranks of those states that differ from ordinary states of nations that are the majority in the world. here, to those rare, but a small number of states that oppose themselves as a state of civilization. i think that this is just important for confronting this colonialist agenda, and it must be said that the roots of this concept lie, in general, in the tradition of russian social science. well we can remember one of the ideologists. eh,

pan-slavism of nikolai danilevsky, who to some extent was the forerunner of this. uh, discourse can be recalled about the theory of the famous linguist and philosopher of the beginning of the century nikolai trubetskoy, who in his book europe and man. that he criticized the claims of the aggressive roman of the germanic form of civilization for superiority in russia and eurasia, and this was what he saw. uh, like the engine is what we do for everyone's fight. uh, versus uh, universalism. eh, i must say that what follows is soviet times. uh, to some extent these debates continued in disputes between supporters of the traditional marxist information approach and, on the one hand,

the civilizational approach. here i must, so to speak, remember my colleagues at the institute, you have the russian academy of sciences, where civilizationism, as a defined philosophy. uh, as a theoretical discourse, and there was not just a front in relation to the marxist formula, but and uh, a very important uh important theory that just appeared. e, as a result of efforts to give greater flexibility to the marxist approach and here. eh, i can remember in particular such an employee of our institute. the deceased, like vasily ilyushechkin, who believed that this applies to the history of china instead of the slave-owning feudal formation. we need to talk about a single estate and class, which was based on the rental mode of production. this is an indication

that creative thought has never weakened in russian science, and in particular you have such a vision and and another one of our collaborators. oh yes, borissov, also long deceased, within the framework of his civilizationist concepts justified the independent categorical status. social cultural studies, emphasizing the contradictory essence of globalization, this was at the end of the last century, when, along with the spread of universal human values. uh, this, this concept had a destructive influence on original cultures, giving rise to their resistance through fundamentalism. nationalism. it must be said that today sometimes the contribution of domestic scientists is the development of this civilizationism, which our western colleagues fiercely oppose and here and in china about our approaches.

i mean, our chinese and indian friends bring us closer, i must say that these debates have not ended and attacks on us from our western colleagues continue, but, nevertheless, other countries. security, well, i already talked about india and uh, turkey uh, their speeches by political leaders are slipping. uh, this is where the elements of the goal-oriented approach and uh, some others slip in. well, the main thing, of course, is china, india and russia, and there are many unresolved issues here in particular about the role of religion , whether religion is a necessary and important marker of civilizationism or whether it does not always unite
