Senator Klimov believes that not everything has been done in the sphere of protecting "spiritual" sovereigntyMOSCOW, Oct 26 – RIA Novosti.
The events of recent months show that not everything has been done in the sphere of protecting "spiritual" sovereignty - in education, culture, and the protection of the information space, said Andrei Klimov, head of the Federation Council commission for the protection of state sovereignty of the Russian Federation.
"Over the past five years, in collaboration with colleagues from other government agencies and representatives of a truly civil society, we have done a lot to legislatively ensure national sovereignty, including in the fields of education, culture, and the information space. But the events of recent months and their consequences show that not everything has been done yet," the politician said at a meeting of the commission on Wednesday.
Earlier Klimov noted that the purpose of the discussion was to try to formulate "concrete recommendations" for the state authorities, the entire Russian society, which would not allow the enemies of Russia and the global Russian world to destroy our spiritual foundations, dehumanize the citizens of Russia, deprive us of our Homeland.
"It is not the first time that our senatorial commission is engaged in topics that could be conditionally called ensuring the spiritual component of national sovereignty. Perhaps it still seems to someone that today, after the start of a special military operation on the territory of the former USSR, and especially after the partial mobilization in this regard, the introduction of martial law in four new subjects of the Russian Federation, the issues of countering anti-Russian manifestations by foreign forces unfriendly to us in the information, cultural, educational spheres are not so relevant such as, for example, events in the theater of military operations or countering illegal, Russophobic financial, economic and trade sanctions of the pro-Washington West," the parliamentarian said. However, according to the members of the Federation Council Commission, this is far from the case, Klimov noted.
He also cited the statements of the Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Oleg Khramov. Khramov's publication explicitly states that Western ideologists "systematically promote a set of measures aimed at the decomposition of the foundations of Russian society from within, and therefore at the destruction of our spiritual foundations and moral principles, at the dehumanization of Russian citizens. This is a threat that must be dealt with in an organized manner in the Russian Federation."
