the veche made decisions on all significant issues and played a key role in the formation of russian statehood. by the 11th century, a new institution of class representation appeared: the councils of all the earth. they ensured legitimacy and continuity of power and established a new electoral tradition. catherine the second included elements of electivity to resolve suffrage in relation to cities and the urban population. thanks to the reforms. zemstvos appeared in russia. the people were legitimized as a new source of power. the state duma became the country's first all-class legislative body. she was elected for 5 years. the elections were multi-stage, held in four curiae. elections to the constituent assembly became universal, equal and direct, and were held by secret ballot. the adopted law turned out to be revolutionary for russia.

voting rights were granted not only to men, but also to women. in 1936, universal, equal, direct elections were enshrined in the constitution of the ussr. in december 1993, the current russian constitution was adopted. a modern voter electoral system is being formed commissions lay the foundation for gas elections. the digitalization of election procedures is actively underway. russia is significantly ahead of other countries; today every russian voter understands how important it is to make their choice in order to support changes for the better in our lives, elections in russia are important, honest, convenient.

vladimir putin took part in international current worldview issues in st. petersburg, musicians, directors, artists, scientists, businessmen gathered, communicating with them, the president spoke about the mission a culture that should unite people and resolve conflicts, conflict potential. the experience of the thousand-year history of our country, convincing evidence of cultures is one of the conditions for stable and peaceful development. indeed, among the main reasons for the current tension in the world, it is the claims of individual forces to exclusivity, including cultural

exclusivity, their disdain for other customs, spiritual values, the desire to subject everyone to unification, and according to their own template, which they consider the best most universal, such vulgar globalization, and i will add, cultural expansion, turned out to be under pressure... and the unification of cultures, multiplied the conflict potential many times over. we are convinced, the future is free, multi-linear and is being born today. the president talked with the forum participants for more than one hour, answered their questions, including the topic of the ukrainian conflict and different assessments of its situation, until 2014 it never occurred to me that it could... such

activities also have place to be, we are we see that the fees are transferred somewhere there, frankly, to the enemy and so on , then this is one story, if this is just an opinion, point of view, assessment of the situation, this is another, so there is another circumstance that, the church, the permanent representative stated this russia under the un vasily nebende at a security council meeting on this topic. according to him, priests are being arrested and blackmailed, demanding that they renounce their faith. horady is preparing to pass a law effectively banning the ukrainian orthodox church.

patriotic war. but the current kyiv the regime figured it out. measures are being consistently taken from legislative pseudo-law enforcement to media ones in order to eradicate canonical orthodoxy in ukraine. the only thing missing is the colosseum arena with the public torn to pieces of christians. unfounded accusations are pouring into the information space that the storage of weapons, ammunition and provisions for the aggressor is organized in churches. we spread fakes and hate speech about saboteur priests on social networks, obviously, this is how the kiev regime is trying to justify the cleansing of the country’s religious field and to give radicals of all stripes a free hand to violence and lawlessness. the speech of the russian

representative was preceded by a report from an expert from the synodal department of the moscow patriarchate. vaktang kipshidze recalled that russians, ukrainians and belarusians together adopted orthodoxy more than a millennium ago. this is beyond political considerations. and the current actions of the kiev regime are an attempt to total destruction of the religious community of the majority of ukrainians. what can only be compared with the soviet persecution of the church, when believers were declared enemies of the state. the current ukrainian government, despite the denial of more than a thousand years of history, and the current canonical ukrainian orthodox church is presented as an enemy of the state for the fact that it does not... all believers who do not want to move to the new church should, in the opinion of the ukrainian authorities, be deprived temples and monasteries, just look at the recent expulsion of monks from kiev-pechora orthodoxy. violations of the rights

of believers in ukraine have been confirmed by both un agencies and independent experts. our broadcast after a short commercial. vlada vesta, boldly forward, hello, the senate program is with you, mine. we will talk about the key events of the federation council and how the work of senators affects the development of the regions of our country. learn more about everything right now. russian language as an interethnic language. in general, the russian language is now receiving a

lot of attention in the cis. lugansk people's republic. integration into the russian legal and social systems. are there any pain points? probably the most sensitive area for our citizens is medicine. and here is the process it's going quite intensely. creating preferential regimes for doing business in new regions, what is their task? make sure that the reform of the waste management system is integrated, what do the senators propose, what will the new law be like? we are moving towards a circular economy, towards reducing the volume of landfills, it is important to eliminate these legislative gaps. illegal trafficking in tobacco products: how to regulate the market? unfortunately, in our country the level is quite high. illegal products and the fight against this has so far been of a conditionally effective nature. support and promotion of the russian language as a language of the cis in bishkek. the delegation of the federation council in the kyrgyz republic was headed by valentina matvienko. russian senators took part in meetings of standing committees and

work on improving model legislation. it is planned that by 2025 more than 130 laws will be adopted, which all parliament members of the assembly are working on. on the sidelines of the session, the speaker of the federation council held a number of bilateral meetings with foreign colleagues. separate meeting with the president of the kyrgyz republic sadyr japarova. the meeting was very meaningful, very constructive, in such a friendly, warm atmosphere. special attention was devoted to issues of humanitarian and cultural cooperation, including in the field of education. on september 1 of this year, our presidents launched the construction of three new russian schools in kyrgyzstan. in general, the presidents approved the program of nine schools over 3 years, very much attention is paid to this, according to on the initiative of the president of kazakhstan, an international organization for the russian language was established within the framework of the chairmanship of kyrgyzstan, i am sure that it will soon cross the borders

of the commonwealth, this is very important, the understanding that the russian language is the language of interethnic communication in the cis, this is an opportunity for everyone to touch the great literary creative heritage thousands of students from kyrgyzstan, half of whom, on our state scholarships and at the address of the president of kyrgyzstan, it was decided to increase the state quota to 100 in the new educational year. following the plenary session , valentina matvienko spoke with journalists. she called the cis interparliamentary assembly a self-sufficient and effective format of interaction. according to her, the parliamentary dimension makes a huge contribution to the work of the commonwealth states from the cis interparliamentary assembly. after moldova’s announcement of withdrawal from the ipa, the procedure will end on february 8. and since february 8, moldova is officially already. will not be a member of the cis interparliamentary assembly, for our assembly, this

is no damage, the assembly continues to work, this is of course a huge loss for moldova itself, since the arrival of mrs. sandu, it is no longer an independent state, it is under external control, it sings from someone else’s voice, so here , as they say, there is nothing to add, but the fact that moldova will lose a lot, it is a fact that not all citizens , and not to say the majority, do not share the leadership of those with foreign citizenship, this is evidenced by the elections that recently took place in various government bodies, municipal others like them tried... to come up with procedures, to weed out undesirables, dissidents, and

yet, according to the voting results, they did not receive the majority they desired, which means that this course does not threaten stability and peaceful development, on the initiative of our country on the international platform, a new one is being created unification, we are talking about a forum of supporters of the fight against modern practices of neo-colonialism, what kind of association this is, what practical goals it has , we will discuss this with the senator. he is a guest of our studio today. andrey arkaevich, tell us more about this forum, when everything will take place, what practical actions the participants of this forum are ready and will take. as you know, the topic of the fight against modern forums of colonialism, what we call non-colonialism, this topic is not new, but in new circumstances it sounds louder, and as you know, the russian side is now making great efforts to consolidate the world majority, which does not want to continue to live under the yoke of this empire, although, of course, the forum that we

plan to make constitutive, to establish international global movements, anti-colonial, we don’t have a task to fight any specific state, that’s not what we’re talking about, we’re talking about these relics of the past, including and mainly in this case, new colonialism and colonialism , they should already be somewhere in the dustbin of history, many understand this, by the way, some understand this even in those countries that emit this very new colonialism, but it’s one thing to understand, and another thing to really leave in the past, put in the archives these are worthless methods, because what it turns out that today, like centuries ago, a small group of the state, this is a global minority, it continues to build this , including the use of predatory

use of other people's natural resources, this is neocolonialism in the field of information technology, propaganda, education, that is, personnel training and much more - much more, almost all areas are covered by this very spider, the task of the initiators of the forum to combat modern practices is that free and sovereign nations, in mutually beneficial and equal cooperation, are building a new the future of humanity. so we must return to these roots; this can help the consolidation of such socio-political forces, parliamentary parties, public organizations, individual figures, there are many of them in the world, we are already receiving a large number of applications for participation in this forum, proposals, so i would now refrained from announcing a specific date, the organizing committee... is working and we believe that in the first half of next year not only

the forum itself will take place, not only will it be from our point of view in terms of this issue, obviously, this informal global movement has been created, but its permanent committee will also start working, and thus the work will reach a practical level, for example, it makes sense to take an inventory of everything that these same neo-colonialists have done there, the accounts will be there big, here we are, at one of the forums recently held with the participation of senators in st. petersburg, we talked about numbers. for about 30 three dollars india was robbed at one time when it was under the rule of colonial london, and this partly ensured the well-being of this very united kingdom, and there are a lot of such examples, but there are also not financial examples, yes, but like, for example, the example of algeria, which was discussed a lot during

the visit of the chairman of the federation council to this country, the french used, algeria as a quality, for its nuclear tests, too , and about the same, i can also give you a snack as they say in some circles, a colony, here is a specific example, these are colonial methods of developing territories, in this particular case we are talking about development and military turning this territory into their battering ram against our country in the resource sector, they scoop everything up , often including with the help of the so-called... sea grain deal, this was done just when grain was pumped out of ukraine and transferred to the european union of peoples, but not only africa, not only latin america, not only asian countries, and so-called europe itself , the european union, well, it is not so slowly, but rather quickly, being transformed or turning into a semi-colony of the united

states, again the use of biological laboratories on the territory of ukraine, and not only on the territory of ukraine. therefore, this is the colonial development of the world, it continues for a long time, these are countries of good will, as they used to say, but by and large , this very majority of the world. another question related to brix, an association that is attracting more and more participating countries, tell us how the work is going in this direction, because in fact, this can also be called a club of like-minded people who fight against those who are opposed, by the way, the word club, more precisely than the word organization, because brix is ​​not an organization in the generally accepted sense, it is rather an alliance of sovereign powers , from january 1 this alliance will be expanded, as we believe, to 11 countries, now there are five, this is an important detail when this was announced

, suddenly a conflict broke out in the middle east with such force , if you look at who is around the site of this conflict, it is egypt, a new member... such a consolidated action within the framework of brix started all this, not only can it be for this, but for this too, and if we again, let's look at those who want to join this alliance, the circle is much wider, these are five dozen states, in principle, one way or another , they have emerged, but we have the opportunity to work within the framework of the new brix development bank, there may be countries that are not members of this club, we have the opportunity to work on specific projects, we have a parliamentary... party dimension of brix , we have a socio-political dimension of brix, humanitarian, economic, so in principle there are opportunities for those who want to, without being a member of the alliance, they are nevertheless active participate in its work, and even now we are talking about a very large-scale phenomenon , because well, look, china’s gdp already exceeds that of america, plus we add, from

the top five countries, in terms of gdp, the gdp level is already three in brix, but this is about says something, so the prospects here are good and we will work as hard as possible in this direction, by the way, in our federation council, for the first time, so to speak, among all the brics countries , a special subcommittee has appeared in our committee on international affairs, which i have it’s also an honor to lead with success took place in st. petersburg, where i had the honor at the opening on behalf of the chairman to greet the 7,000 participants of this big grandiose event, now let’s break for a short advertisement, then we’ll continue, don’t switch, we’ve been booking your vacation for 13 seasons, our

clients have had tens of thousands, oh , cool, hundreds of thousands, very good, and millions , we play, a very large selection of hotels and apartments, book yours on ostrovka, training, don’t spend too much, order from a scooter in a selection of profitable shelves, free delivery, scooter without extra expenses. the potential of women in modern society ended with the forum steel lace of the urals. this is a platform for meeting and exchanging professional experiences of women from various fields of activity. we will learn all the details

from senator daria lantratova, who was a guest of the forum. for the third time, the chelyabinsk region gathered the most active girls, leaders of various communities for the steel lace of the urals forum. and this name, like nothing better, demonstrates what the image of a woman is like in russia today, and this is not only about beauty, about flexibility and grace, this is about a very reliable rear. it must be said that the special military operation highlighted the new role of women; today we see in the regions a huge number of representatives of the public, the volunteer corps, who are becoming real leaders. the girls are launching the production of various products, the necessary cry for the collection of humanin. help and much, much more, and of course, we do everything to support such activity and initiatives of our women, because it often turns out that a woman

girls have an excellent education, and there are all opportunities, but there are some stereotypes and psychological barriers, so it is precisely these women’s associations, communities, events, forums that help women gather, it is important to see such cases, examples, women who successfully manage to combine a career, social activities and family , we have launched several educational programs, and which will continue in the future, have already been operating for several months, in the field of entrepreneurship, together with the sme academy, we have launched an educational course for in order to make it easier for girls to find themselves and realize themselves in entrepreneurship, he said that this area is in great demand, more than 200 girls who went through our political start educational program became winners at the level of legislative assemblies, the image of a caring representative

of the political sphere is in great demand in politics today , because in times of challenge and instability, of course, people want to feel cared for, supported, a quality that is primarily inherent in our women. daria sergeevna, do you represent in federation council of the lugansk people's republic, as it goes. the process of integration of regions into the russian legal and social systems, are there any problematic issues? indeed, the process of integration of our reunited constituent entities is proceeding very actively; the first meeting of the integration council has already taken place, which really gave such a new impetus, a new impetus to this work. the most important thing is that we have a very active process of simplified acquisition of citizenship of the russian federation; there are already about a million people in the lugansk people’s republic. our country received russian passports. another important point is that we managed to quickly provide all the social support measures that are due to residents of our

other constituent entities of the russian federation. this includes the payment of maternity capital, a unified child benefit, and there is a very active recalculation of pensions according to russian legislation, but of course, a number of problems remain, for example, a huge shortage of personnel, and employees in almost all areas, for example, in the field of medicine our staffing level is about 30-40%, and this causes difficulties in the development of almost all areas, the essence of the development process, and of course, we have to be fully included in the financial system of the russian federation , so that all those programs that operate in other regions are available in the lugansk people's republic, probably the most sensitive area for our citizens is medicine, here the process is going on quite intensively, and more than 400,000 people have already

received compulsory health insurance policies, which means they have access to high-quality, including high-tech medicine, and they can receive this help in any subject of the russian federation ; a preferential drug program has recently launched for a number of categories of citizens of the lugansk people 's republic; over the past year, about 7.5 billion rubles have been allocated for medicines and medical products, and this creation of preferential regimes for conducting business activities in the territories of the donetsk people's republic, lugansk people's republic, zaporozhye and kherson regions. senator dmitry varona told us about the demand for these economic mechanisms. well, first of all, our task is to ensure integration. connected regions passed as quickly as possible and as little pain as possible
