Russia Needs to Take 'Difficult Path' to Preserve Culture, Rejecting West's Use of Culture as 'Soft Power': MFA Spox

"The simple path, if we view culture as a force, an instrument of influence, targeted actions, and so on, is a road to nowhere," Maria Zakharova said at the Eastern Economic Forum.

The path of continuing traditions despite difficulties, including the traditions of cinema and traditions in other areas of our lives, "this is a very difficult path, this is the path to resistance," Zakharova said at the business breakfast “Creating Images of the Future: The role of Film Institutes in Shaping Values and Worldviews.”

"But it is precisely this resistance that will make us strong, and will make it so that our culture cannot even be thought of as being abolished, and so that it will form our immunity in every sense of the word, so that this culture will not be an Achilles heel, as in the West," she stated.
