Intervision Offers Choice Beyond Eurovision's 'Men With Beards in Women's Dresses': Lavrov
"If you like Eurovision - watch it. But preserving culture, traditions, and moral values is now in higher demand, which is encouraging," the Russian foreign minister stated while addressing reporters ahead of the Intervision 2025 International Music Contest, which is scheduled to take place on September 20.
Key statements by Sergey Lavrov:
🟠In Moscow, there is a gradual shift away from the term "unfriendly countries," while it is still in use, the sentiment is that "there are no unfriendly countries, only governments that are unfriendly to Russia";
🟠If certain countries form their governments without regard for culture and the arts, that is their issue, contrasting this with Russia's practice of bestowing titles like "Honored" or "People's Artist" to encourage cultural development, a practice not seen in countries like the US or UK;
🟠Russia does not aim to influence other governments, unlike the past actions of USAID before its dissolution;
🟠Russia's approach is completely different from attempts to use sports, art, or any other human activity to achieve political goals.
