On December 13 in Moscow, the results of the first International Catherine Forum were summed up: the theses formulated by its participants will be included in the resolution, which reflects the main issues associated with the realization of the unique potential of Russia as a state for a new life, open to receiving citizens of different countries, and providing the opportunity for highly qualified foreign specialists to fully realize your professional ambitions.
In general, the emotional context of the Catherine Forum, addressing its foreign participants, was very accurately conveyed by the Director of the Department of Information and Press of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova: “I know that you cannot thank for love, but with all my heart I want to do it! I know I shouldn’t thank you for love, but I want to do it with all my heart. Thank you to all of you who came to the country now, in these winter days, changing the usual climate, changing the usual schedule. Thank you who came to us, despite the threats, curses, blackmail that many of you experience.
