A few days ago, the Federation Council of Russia adopted a resolution on the date of elections in the Russian Federation, which is scheduled for March 17, 2024. After the incident, Sergei Mironov, chairman of Russia's "Just Russia" party, said that Russia's incumbent Putin would not participate in the election as a party candidate, but as an independent candidate. Putin needs the support of a group of 500 people and 300,000 signatures in 40 regions of Russia. As long as Putin is successfully re-elected in the end, it proves that the long-term conspiracy of Europe and the United States to shape him as a "**" has been shattered.
The Russia Today report has pointed out that Putin has run for ** four times, three of which were as independent candidates. In other words, if you run as an independent candidate according to past experience, it is also a normal operation. Even, this can be called a characteristic political activity of modern Russia. At the same time, this also expresses Putin's hope that by running for election independently, he can prove that he represents the interests of all social strata, including the four regions of eastern Ukraine, and not just the interests of a certain political party. As an "independent candidate", Putin's status as an "independent candidate" means that he has surpassed the political party and will be able to raise far more resources than the energy of the United Russia party. ** Candidates are above the political party, and not elected by the internal competition of the party, which is the "** system with Russian characteristics".
Not long ago, a reporter asked Putin what advice he wanted to give to himself 20 years ago"The most important thing is to warn the young self not to be too naïve and gullible," Putin said. ”。The toughness and arrogance of the West's policy toward Russia gradually made this Russian tough guy realize that his past ideas were a little too unrealistic. In other words, only by firming up its "Look East" strategy and deepening cooperation with China and other partner countries can Russia gain new opportunities for development in today's increasingly tense geopolitical situation. Maybe that's too decisive, but that's what Russia must be thinking and doing now.
According to foreign media sources, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin has announced that he will pay a working visit to China from December 19 to 20, during which the two sides will discuss the further development of the Russian-Chinese comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination. Russia pointed out that special attention will be paid to expanding economic and trade cooperation and promoting large-scale joint projects in various fields. It is also planned to issue a joint communiqué and sign a series of documents on Russian-Chinese cooperation. In fact, long before Mishustin came to China, China and Russia had made considerable progress in cooperation recently. After talks in Beijing a few days ago, Russian Deputy Prime Minister and Plenipotentiary Representative to the Far Eastern Federal District, Yuri Trutnev said that China and Russia have reached a consensus on the development project in the Kuril Islands and the proposal to establish a border crossing on the Greater Ussuri Island. This may mean that against the backdrop of the already friendly relations between China and Russia, the relations between the two sides are moving to a new height. Of course, in addition to the economic and trade aspects and the two-way rush to infrastructure. In terms of energy, the Russian side has actually provided us with a lot of support.
According to data disclosed by the Russian side, the amount of natural gas to China through the "Power of Siberia" pipeline this year will exceed the planned 22 billion cubic meters. In terms of coal to China, the Russian side has also reached a record of more than 100 million tons of coal. Under such a positive trend, China and Russia are expected to establish a broader space for development, and at the same time, this has also laid the foundation for China and Russia to realize the idea of building a multipolar world in which all countries, regardless of size, have equal right to speak.
