📆 ANNOUNCEMENT: On September 9 at 11:00 Moscow Time (GMT+3), the Valdai Club will host the presentation of its report, titled “Neither East, Nor West: How Iran’s Economy Copes With Sanctions”.
After February 24, 2022, the Western countries imposed an unprecedentedly broad set of economic restrictions on Russia. Russia is not the first country to face such a range of sanctions, but the speed with which they were imposed has been unprecedented. In just a few months, Russia has received a set of restrictions that, for instance, Iran has faced over the past 43 years. Russia can learn from Iran's experience in adapting to and overcoming such restrictions.
Iran has had to endure a wide set of restrictions. The financial sector there continues to suffer. Iran’s ability to export oil and import essential industrial goods and equipment is limited.
Despite the punitive economic measures, the Islamic Republic was able to successfully advance in a number of industrial and technologically intensive sectors, creating industrial niches, which were important for the country’s security. The problems that arise in the Iranian economy under sanctions are also important. These include difficulties in settlements with foreign counterparties, the stability of the national currency, and access to foreign equipment.
❓What financial mechanisms does Iran use for mutual settlements?
❓How does Iran compensate for the lack of technology?
❓How has the role of sanctions changed in the Iranian economy?
❓What lessons can Russia learn from the Iranian experience?
❓What are the prospects for cooperation in countering sanctions pressure?
The participants in the discussion will try to answer these and other questions.

🇷🇺 Maxim Baranov, Acting Director of the Second Asian Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry

🇮🇷 How to Fight Sanctions: The Iranian Experience
On September 9, the Valdai Discussion Club presented the report “Neither East, Nor West: How Iran’s Economy Copes With Sanctions”.
💬 The discussion was moderated by Ivan Timofeev, the Club’s programme director, who noted that Iran remains one of the key cases for those studying the use of sanctions, and that Iran’s experience is extremely important for Russia. Timofeev emphasised that, while this experience cannot be copied literally, it requires careful, unbiased, and objective study.
💬 Adlan Margoev, a researcher at the Institute of International Studies at MGIMO and a co-author of the report, briefly outlined some of its key points. Margoev analysed Iran’s reaction to the sanctions, noting that Tehran was simultaneously trying to reach an agreement with the initiators and adapt to the terms of the sanctions. According to him, the results of Iran’s attempts to reach an agreement show that sanctions are a “one-way ticket.” Even if at some point it is possible to remove or soften them, it is very difficult to ensure the sustainability of this deal. The analyst noted that Iran, despite colossal sanctions pressure, is coping with its basic needs - and this is certainly a positive experience - but it cannot yet scale this success to the entire economy.
💬 Maxim Baranov, Acting Director of the Second Asian Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, noted that the approach outlined in the report is of interest both from the point of view of assessing the development of modern Iran and from the point of view of survival under sanctions. The diplomat named the need for far-reaching work to create a regulatory framework for combating sanctions. The corresponding declaration signed by Russia and Iran is becoming a basic document for interaction with other countries and can serve as a basis for transferring anti-sanction cooperation from a bilateral to a multilateral format. "Sanctions are not our choice. But we can choose how to fight them," Baranov added.
💬 Kayhan Barzegar, Senior Academic Advisor at the Institute for Political and International Studies (IPIS), acknowledged that sanctions have caused serious difficulties for the Iranian economy, but added that Iran is capable of coping with them and will not collapse under any circumstances. Sanctions put pressure on the Iranian people, especially the middle class, but they cannot alter the country's strategic approaches and priorities. Barzegar noted that Iran is now actively involved in regional politics, using its advantageous geographical location, and this has delivered extremely positive results. The reorientation towards countries in the Global South helps it protect its national interests.
💬 Sumbula Sultanova, Executive Secretary of the Russian-Iranian Business Council, described the Iranian "resistance economy" as a well-coordinated mechanism aimed at maximising the use of internal resources - human, financial and natural - as well as resisting external pressure by creating reserves of necessary goods. Counteracting the sanctions regime falls under the jurisdiction of state institutions. “The timely adjustment of the economy by the state allows Iran to stay afloat again and again,” Sultanova said.
💬 Lana Ravandi-Fadai, Senior Researcher and Head of the Eastern Cultural Centre at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, noted that the development of the Iranian economy can be called relatively successful. In her opinion, banking plays a key role in overcoming sanctions. She puts the oil industry in second place. Another important point, according to Ravandi-Fadai, is the development of relations with neighbours, both those under sanctions and those not under sanctions. In addition, she believes it is necessary to take into account the influence of domestic policy, including the creation of free economic zones.

⏳ The policy of historical memory in its various aspects has been the focus of attention of the Valdai Discussion Club for a long time.
The following Valdai texts can be recalled in understanding the politics of historical memory in the modern world: “History and Tasks of Geopolitics”, “Images of the Past for the Image of the Future” . The connection between history and politics was also analysed in the context of the new official concept of the “civilization state” in Russia. One can also note the expert interview with Alexey Miller, “Battles for Historical Memory in the 21st Century”. The close connection between historical memory and value policy was analysed in the text “Values and Dreams of Values”.
History is impossible without a projection into the future, writes Oleg Barabanov, Programme Director of the Valdai Discussion Club.

📍The event will be held in Jakarta (Indonesia).
The Valdai Club has been developing partnerships with the countries of Southeast Asia for many years. In 2015, an Asian Regional Conference of the Club was held in Jakarta. This year, the Valdai Club returns to Indonesia for a substantive analysis of both bilateral relations and the positions of Russia and Indonesia on key issues of regional security and development.
Not only representatives of Indonesia, but also guests from India and China will be invited to speak at the Russian-Indonesian Seminar. Their participation will allow the Russian-Indonesian dialogue to be integrated into the broader context of regional cooperation.
The agenda of the Russian-Indonesian Seminar is designed for one day and is completely open to the media. In addition, a press scrum will be organized after each session.
During the seminar, experts will discuss the following topics:
🔹 Historical prospects for bilateral relations between Indonesia and Russia;
🔹 Geopolitical prospects for bilateral relations between Indonesia and Russia;
🔹 Digital transformation in an era of global turbulence;
🔹 Relations between Indonesia and Russia in the naval sphere.
The seminar in Jakarta fits seamlessly into the strategy for strengthening bilateral ties laid down by recent high-level negotiations. Expert recommendations following the seminar will undoubtedly be used in developing further political and economic decisions in this area.
For the Russian-Indonesian seminar, Alexey Kupriyanov, Head of the Indian Ocean Region Centre at the IMEMO Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, prepared a Valdai paper titled “Maritime Geopolitics of the Pacific and Indian Oceans: A View from Moscow” on the national interests of Indonesia and Russia in the Asia-Pacific. The presentation of the analytical paper and the seminar agenda will take place at the Valdai Club’s Moscow headquarters on September 16.

📆 ANNOUNCEMENT: On September 19 at 16:00 Moscow Time (GMT+3), the Valdai Club will host an expert discussion, titled “Elections in the USA: What Awaits Ukraine?”
The United States presidential elections, which will be held in November, are especially significant. Political polarisation in the country has reached a critical point. If a few years ago the peak of this process was an attempt to seize the Congress building by force, this year we witnessed an assassination attempt on a presidential candidate.
Amid domestic political contradictions, material problems are also accumulating: the infrastructure is deteriorating, the railway industry is facing difficulties, external debt is growing, migration policy is stalling, and inflation remains high.
Problems in foreign policy are also multiplying. The discussion about China presenting a key challenge to American influence is becoming more active, but the Ukrainian conflict also remains in sight.
❓Republicans and Democrats disagree on many issues, but how different are their positions really?
❓How can US foreign policy change? Will it change at all?
❓What scenario awaits Ukraine after the American elections?
The participants in the discussion will try to answer these and other questions.
