๐ Mediation is the participation in a dispute or conflict by a third, neutral party.
The goal is to resolve the dispute in a controlled, iterative process. Nowadays, mediation is used to resolve conflicts, which vary widely in their cause, scale and severity. Despite the fact that the UN can be considered the main mediator, there are at least four more types of mediators.

๐ณ It is safe to say that media and social media platforms are leading the world and dictating the prospects of war and peace, sowing love and justice or resentment and hate.
Information technology and social media can have a destructive role by misleading public opinion, spinning truths, blurring facts, feeding nationalist and religious extremism, triggering anger, inciting the masses and spreading negative publicity.
In that sense and within that role, the media and social media play a crucial and advanced part in rallying the masses, causing strife and division, inciting to fight and undermining peace and justice.
Communications and the media can also play a constructive role by encouraging openness and closeness, by reinforcing the culture of dialogue, serving righteousness and justice, and allowing positive interaction between cultures, civilizations and religions, as well as establishing the rules and concepts of communal, societal and national behaviors, based on virtue, justice and peace.
The communications revolution took the world by storm and changed its course, political landscape, economic and social behavior, and had a significant impact on shaping and turning public opinion, writes Amal Abou Zeid, Adviser to the President of Lebanon, for the 19th Annual Meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club.

โฝ We are witnessing a sharp imbalance in the exchange rates of the so-called collective West.
The euro collapsed to almost below the 1:1 ratio to the US dollar - the pound sterling has rushed to the same place and the Swiss franc exchange rate has been bouncing back and forth for a long time.
As some economists bitterly joke, these currencies can be safely replaced by the US dollar: they have caught up with it and it is already easier for them to become a single currency.
The rublification of all trade and investment relations between Russia and its partners is a first and very important step on the way from currency sovereignty to a new role for the ruble as a reliable alternative to other currencies, writes Kubatbek Rakhimov, Executive Director of the Applicata Center for Strategic Decisions Public Foundation, Advisor to the Prime Minister of the Kyrgyz Republic (2019-2020).

LIVE: Values in the Modern World. What Is Their Balance for Genuine Equality? Sixth Session of the 19th Annual Meeting of the Valdaiโฆ
How can we ensure a fair balance in the new world โ not only political and economic, but also cultural and ideological? Participants of the sixth session of the 19th Annual Meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club will try to answer this question.
โฐ Good morning! Today is Day 4 of the Valdai Clubโs 19th Annual Meeting, titled โA Post-Hegemonic World: Justice and Security for Everyoneโ.
๐ Programme for October 27, Thursday
10:00 โ 12:00 โ Session 10. The World That Crumbled: Lessons for the Future from the 2022 Military-Political Crisis
The institutions of world governance that were established in the second half of the twentieth century and provided a certain framework for international players are no longer working. The situation in world politics has returned to the historical norm: chaotic competition, which can only be limited by the balance of power of the opposing sides. Will there ever be a new system of rules and governance structures? What could it look like? Or has the year 2022 opened up a period of indefinite and dangerous instability?
16:00 โ Plenary session

Programme of the 19th Annual Meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club
The 19th Annual Meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club, titled โA Post-Hegemonic World: Justice and Security for Everyoneโ will be held on October 24-27, 2022 in Moscow.
๐ Values, Technology and Myths about Russia: The Third Day of the 19th Valdai Club Annual Meeting
On Wednesday, October 26, as part of the 19th Annual Meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club, four thematic sessions were held on humanitarian issues - values, communications and technology. During a special session, held as an open discussion, the experts discussed the image of Russia in the world.
The sixth session of the conference (he recording of the broadcast is available on www.valdaiclub.com) was devoted to values in the modern world.
During the seventh session, experts discussed the role of communications in our world. They stated that the Internet, which was created so that everyone could instantly get access to the entire array of knowledge accumulated by mankind, has become in many ways a tool for manipulating public consciousness. The dominance of American companies in the communications market plays a big role - and here one can draw a parallel with the discursive power of the West, discussed on the first day of the Annual Meeting.
Information campaigns conducted through traditional and online media, as well as social networks, are part of the hybrid war of the West against Russia, just like the sanctions discussed the day before. Perhaps an even more formidable aspect of hybrid warfare is the technological blockade, which became the theme of the eighth session.
Anticipating the topic of the next session, the experts touched upon the topic of military mobilisation. It was noted that the announcement of partial mobilisation provoked an outflow of scientific personnel from Russia. Measures must be taken to ensure the return of scientists who have left the country.
The ninth session was devoted to mobilisation in a broad sense. In sociological terms, mobilisation means that a significant part of society is preoccupied with the same problems. Such an โassemblyโ of society leads to its polarisation, when sharp contradictions (including intergenerational ones) arise between people who evaluate the same events differently.
Comprehension of what is happening leads to a "reassembly". The attitude of people to such concepts as the West, capitalism and individualism is changing; the idea that the state of the world will be eternal is dying out.
All this does not fit well into the stereotypical image of the Russian state machine as rigid and non-adaptive. A special session was devoted to stereotypes and myths about Russia, that took place in the format of an open discussion. The topic sparked great interest among experts, and the main conclusion of the discussion can be formulated as follows: Russia for years has been investing in creating a positive image for itself in the West, while ignoring the "third world". The result is a vacuum, which the people of the Global South are filling with information from the Western sources. Meanwhile, properly in the Global South there is a demand for Russia, which is largely connected with the legacy of the Soviet period. The Soviet Union projected the image of a strong, just state, fighting colonialism, and today it is most missed by those who are sympathetic to Russia.
