✍️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin signed the Executive Order On Approving the Fundamentals of State Policy for the Preservation and Strengthening of Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values.

🇷🇺 Traditional values include human life, dignity, human rights and freedoms, patriotism, civic consciousness, service to the Fatherland and responsibility for its destiny, high moral ideals, strong families, productive labour, the primacy of the spiritual over corporeal, humanism, charity, justice, collectivism, mutual assistance and mutual respect, historical memory and the continuity of generations, as well as the unity of Russia’s peoples.

The National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation assesses that the situation in Russia and the world requires emergency measures to defend traditional values.

⚠️ Threats to traditional values come from:
• extremist and terrorist organisations,
• some news media and communication platforms,
• the actions of the United States and other unfriendly foreign states, several transnational corporations and foreign NGOs,
• the activities of some organisations and individuals in the territory of Russia.

Destructive ideological influences on Russian citizens are threatening the demographic health of the country.

👉 Objectives set forth in state policy to preserve and strengthen traditional values:
🔸 to strengthen civic unity, national civic identity and Russian singularity, inter-ethnic and inter-faith harmony based on the unifying role played by traditional values;
🔸 to preserve historical memory, counter attempts to falsify history <...>
🔸 to preserve, reinforce and promote traditional family values, including marriage as a union between a man and a woman <...>
🔸 to carry out state information policy reinforcing the role traditional values play in mass consciousness and to counter the spread of destructive ideology;
and more.

💬 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov regarding fake news spread by Western media regarding his alleged "hospitalization" ahead of the G20 Summit.

❗️The Russian Embassy in Indonesia took note of this fake information.

🔹These reports are untrue, the Minister is at his hotel and is preparing to attend the G20 Summit.

💬 Sergey Lavrov: I want to wish the Western journalists to be more honest than they are and write the truth a little more often, cover more points of view than the one they project on all matters concerning the interests of the Russian Federation that are being ignored.

🇷🇺🤝🇮🇳 Delegation from Skolkovo Innovation Center is on a business mission in India on November 14-18 to further enhance long-term cooperation between Skolkovo and Indian counterparts, promote technological transfer, and support startups in developing high-tech products and finding potential partners on the local market.
