this is the senate program, that's what we'll talk about. big politics in the tauride palace, the brics women's forum was held for the first time within the framework of the eurasian women's forum. this is a kind of prototype of the future multipolar world. russia as a center of attraction for the countries of the global south, why is the isolation of our country impossible? respect for russia - scientists unite the world, russia is becoming the center of world science, it is gratifying that after all, those support measures that exist today at the federal level, in general, support for science, it cannot be divide into male, female, and some state science, they certainly have their effect, away with stereotypes, there are fewer and fewer non-female professions left in russia, women have been pushed into the subway and now they are

drivers. women in india received the basic right to vote in 1946. in the united states , discrimination against female employees' labor rights was only abolished in the seventies, and saudi arabian women received the right to drive a car some 6 years ago. and all three of these well-known facts lead to one question: could such an event as the eurasian women's forum will take place 50-70 years ago. well, hardly. and today's agenda.

i am a producer of cultural projects, every year i invite russian ballet dancers to japan with master classes for young people, and i intend to continue doing this, even despite the fact that our countries are currently going through difficult times. our cooperation is now more important than ever. i hope that more women from arab countries will take part in such conferences, they should also feel this experience, how connections are established here between women to build a common future. russia and south africa have a bright future, look at how our countries work within the brics, it is amazing how women work with the help of such events.

building a multipolar world is impossible without strengthening the role of africa and african countries as such, here two systems of relationships are possible: the first is the western one, which is used to looking from the side of power, the second is ours, this is the path of partnership of mutual respect. which path africa will choose, we will discuss with the vice president of uganda, jessica.

hello, the eurasian women's forum has earned a reputation as an event that is not just about words, but ends with concrete actions. so, what role does it play globally?

another key event of these three days: the brics women's forum. it was held for the first time within the framework of the eurasian women's forum, here in the tauride palace. valentina matviyenko called it a historic event in the development of women's cooperation. the speaker of the federation council emphasized that

a unique unifying platform is being created right now for a permanent dialogue between women organizations. the protocol to the memorandum of understanding on the brics parliamentary forum specifically emphasizes. developing business and friendly contacts. valentina matvienko added that brics has come a long way. now the share of the association's countries in the world's gdp exceeds 35%. and their population reaches almost half of the planet's inhabitants. the organization's influence continues to grow. another 34 states want

to join this format. during the brics women's forum , various thematic sessions are held. participant discuss issues of food security, development of women's entrepreneurship, agriculture. that brics plays a key role in building that very fair world order. we will discuss this topic with deputy chairman of the federation council konstantin kosyach. konstantin iosipovich, hello. good afternoon. brics is a very important structure, we see how people want to get into it, there are literally queues. the eurasian women's forum is also not separated from the brics agenda. so, what role does this play here? association, it is an organization, as it is discussed here, as it is presented here. well, first and foremost, brics is an association, not an organization, and this is not a play on words, from my point of view it is an absolutely

well-thought-out structure, which is equally comfortable for all participants, they are different, they have different national interests, they have different relations with the outside. what is called unanimity, they imply that everyone should act in a coordinated and uniform manner, they are forced to do something, in this unanimity, of course, there is a factor of violence, of some against others, we see this in the example of the european union,

we see this in the example of the same north atlantic alliance, we have avoided those mistakes that we made, absolutely certainly, we have done, we have made our...

applause, moreover, we know that many or at least a sufficient number of those who were ready to come to our forum ultimately did not show up here due to the pressure that was put on them before

their departure, but those who came here, of course these are people who have taken their own civic position, an active civic position, and thus have shown, excuse me for the pathos, civic courage, they know that not everyone will pat them on the shoulder, so to speak, upon their return, perhaps, perhaps, even some troubles, including personal. female mathematician zinaida

sofya kovalevskaya - the first ermolieva in the world, the inventor of the first domestic antibiotic, we are of course talking about our penicillin, lina stern, the first woman in our country, an academician. i listed the names outstanding russian scientists, but only then these women... at the turn of the xix-20th century had to fight for their right to engage in science, today such an opportunity exists, but perhaps every girl, my colleague, artem pashnin met with young and experienced scientists. the majestic architecture of this capital skyscraper is well known to the entire scientific world. moscow state university is one of the fundamental pillars of russian science. lectures are held here every day, research is conducted, scientific discoveries are made. women play a role in this, choosing difficult scientific professions for themselves: studying

at the faculty of physical and chemical engineering is not for truants, the subjects are complex, requiring a considerable amount of basic knowledge, and teachers often teach technical courses in english. more than half of the students at the faculty are girls. academician of the russian academy of sciences, a world-famous scientist, says in our time. with chemistry and physics - this is the engine of progress. today, for example, the entire industry is tied creating new materials, and chemists develop polymer products , diagnostic systems, catheters. science is a very interesting field, because it is not routine, you are always with something new, you discover something, you learn something, you understand that your work can contribute to the fact that the future will change, if we talk about pure chemistry, then this is such a science, in general , for women, because in chemistry there are many areas that are associated with some kind of

skill on the tips of your fingers, you create. they have found their application in various applications of science and technology, such as optics, targeted drug delivery, as well as lithography and many others. her classmate dana plieva specializes in applied chemistry. every day there are new tasks, and non-standard ones that need to be solved, that's actually why i love my job. young

scientists are helped at the state level, informationally, financially, infrastructurally. she spoke about this at the eurasian women's forum. it is gratifying that after all those measures support that exists today at the federal level, in general support of science, it cannot be divided into male science, female science, science of some state, they certainly have their effect and decades of science, technology, world -class educational centers, advanced engineering schools, today in every region, in every subject. and of course, around these projects there is a unification of federal efforts, regional authorities, what concerns our country, and such work bears fruit, for example, in the mettech and the moscow center for innovative technologies under the ministry of health are currently conducting clinical trials of the latest drug for the treatment of cancer. a breakthrough in medicine is about to be made, it is being prepared by the gene surgery project,

which is headed by irina alekseenko. this is gene therapy for cancer, when therapeutic dna is introduced into the patient's tumor, it contains two genes, one is a killer gene, that is , when it gets into the tumor, it produces a protein there, a toxin that is capable of killing cancer cells, the second gene is a stimulator immune system, it attracts immune system cells to the tumor, makes them recognize tumor cells and kill them, such a synergistic effect of the two components. the development has proven its safety and effectiveness in animals. those who received the drug noted an increase in life expectancy. almost halved, the cancerous tumor is reduced by 80%, for irina alekseenko, her project is her life's work: my mother got cancer, she died several years ago, and now i really want to finish this drug, because i want, so that other mothers don't die. and this example is not isolated. any scientist working at the moscow center for innovative technologies can count on support for their

research and bringing the idea of ​​a project to its real implementation. these women were brought to science by different paths and different motives, all. are united by the desire to make our lives better. artem pashnin, yuri belov, alexander mamedov, vladislav kazimaslov, evgeny kozlov. senate program. in the tauride palace these days one phrase could often be heard: a woman is soft power. undoubtedly, but it is it is not always so. among the numerous interesting events, i would highlight one dedicated to women's judo. this is a young sport, it appeared only some 40 years ago, when the first all-union tournament was held, so, is it possible to remain feminine when your life is a struggle, my colleague, marina pavlova, found out, i sit down and do well, with such a deft movement olga demkina can throw over her hip lay anyone on the shoulder blade, even a man. olga has been in judo for more than 15 years, a master of sports, founder of the martial arts school in

capital, in her youth she loved football, but the girl's fighting spirit was once noticed by a judo coach, and olga decided to try her hand at... wrestling, one of her first rivals spurred her on to achieve. i wrestled with a girl, she spanked me so well, i thought, excuse me, i'll say it on camera, well, that's it, i think i'll tear you apart in a year, so i stayed because i would have to leave her later, and i stayed to win, i won. today, olga passes on her knowledge of the intricacies of japanese martial arts to the younger generation, girls among the students there are only a few, and for them judo is not just a sports section, but a life... philosophy that helps to become more confident. 10 years, and she stood there shy, so downtrodden, really just, i really want to help, if only there was something left, that by... pomo, so that later she would understand that the other side is just really completely different, she is an athlete after 2 years, so many friends have learned everything, every time olga demkina's student goes out on

the tatami with the attitude to win, at all training persistently work on acrobatic elements, throws, sweeps, flips, for me this sport is the best, i like everything here, olga sergeevna can be so demanding, but all because of what she wants to do.

in any weather, ekaterina oreshnikova ensures a soft landing, she has been at the controls of a helicopter for more than 30 years, once flying was a dream for her, since it was not so easy for girls in the ussr to get into aviation. the only school in the ussr that accepted girls, there were official recruitments, this zaporizhzhya aviation school of pilots, instructors, dsf, ussr, and i was lucky, i entered this school, although the rules for admission were very difficult that year we were accepted from all over the country only five people it was considered a very large set, because usually they took two to three people. ekaterina has over 400 hours of flight time

on different types of helicopters. she spent most of her career in the aviation of the ministry of emergency situations. we performed not only fire extinguishing, but also ambulance transportation, transport transportation, search operations. here are the flights to all kinds of as. now ekaterina commands a medical aircraft, together with an emergency team.

she has been on the road for more than 10 years, ruzana had no doubts about her choice of profession, she continued the family dynasty, it so happened since childhood that my entire family is somehow connected with the railway, and my parents, train conductors, from early childhood i was on trains, in the modern world the boundaries between the concept of male and female professions have practically disappeared, and russian women continue this prove by example. kaluga resident sonya darchic is always on top, she is a construction crane operator, a resident. pome svetlana kulakova traded her car for a bus and mastered the profession of a driver. elena vinogradova, the founder of a wooden house-building company from vologda. thanks to her , environmentally

friendly houses are built from northern wood in different parts of the world. oksana chevalier. acrobat skalalaska vodolas trains in her own school. today, women successfully manage enterprises, make scientific discoveries, save lives, operate all types of transport, including icebreakers and spaceships. russian women achieve success in male professions, but they can also choose a female calling, conquering this world with beauty, grace and tenderness. marina pavlova, natalya kalysheva, yuri belov, klim kutuzov, the senate program. the deputy chairperson of the federation council will discuss the most diverse professional paths of women and what gates can and should still be opened. inna svetanka, hello. hello, you yourself studied at the air force academy. rose to the rank of colonel, graduated from moscow state university, served in the air force academy, what was it like to make your way through the thorns of a male collective, well, i didn’t make my way.

women, is it necessary to update this list further, where rights are limited in one way or another? indeed, when i came to the federation council, women, aviation engineers, approached me, because they understood that i would understand this problem that they were facing, they said that you, as an aviation engineer, could hold the position of an aviation engineer in the army, and

we can't... and only because we are civilians, although we are exactly the same specialists, we have a specialized education, when we began to review the professions, we realized that this is far from the only profession that actually has no health restrictions, for example, women have gone down to the subway, and now they are drivers, they are improving quite well, and even people openly and with a smile get on that... train, when they see that they are not piloting, you see, a slip of the tongue, who operate the subway train. it was not by chance that we ended up in in this corridor, here we are surrounded by portraits of famous, outstanding women from different eras, from different spheres. and how should we act now? perhaps, somewhere else we need to change something to give more and more opportunities for women to realize themselves. the eurasian women's forum

is that.

as you know, one of the symbols of st. petersburg is the beautiful bridges across it. the eurasian women's forum can also be imagined as a bridge that unites women from different corners of the earth ball, making us more united, stronger, helping us achieve great goals. traditionally, following the results of the eurasian women's forum, the participants prepared a resolution, it will be sent to the heads of state and government, parliamentarians, heads of major international organizations and public associations. all forum participants will rely on these recommendations in their future work, implement them in life. we are women of the world, an unquenchable light in our hearts, we are united in the name of peaceful victories. that's all,

that was the senate program, a special edition, dedicated to the eurasian women's forum in st. petersburg. see you next week.
