"We are allies, not just partners. Serbia will never change its attitude towards Russia; our leader is someone who will never betray the Russian-Serbian brotherhood," stated Aleksandar Vulin, Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia.
On February 27, RSUH hosted a lecture by Aleksandar Vulin titled "Current Political Situation and Global Security, Serbia’s Place in Geopolitical Events, and the Attempt to Rewrite History". The event was organized by RSUH in close cooperation with Mr. Vulin’s office.
"In RSUH, special attention is undoubtedly given to Russian-Serbian relations, the history of Serbia, its language, art, literature, and politics," said Acting Rector Loginov in his welcome speech, emphasizing the significance of the event given the millennia-old friendship and harmony, unity of thought, faith, and culture that bind Russia and Serbia.
His statement was supplemented Alexander Dugin, Director of the Center "Ivan Ilyin Higher Political School", who noted that Serbia was a miniature hologram of Russia and that the two nations are connected by more than just being "one country and another country".
On the eve of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, a holiday of special importance for both Russia and Serbia, Aleksandar Vulin emphasized the necessity of knowing one’s history, especially in times when many seek to rewrite it to suit their own interests. He regretted that today, more than 90 percent of respondents have an incorrect understanding of which country had played the key role in the victory over Nazi Germany in 1945.
The topic of historical falsification was also addressed by Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Konstantin Mogilevsky:
"Like our Serbian colleagues, we attach fundamental importance to countering attempts to revise history. Our responsibility to the past and the future is to do everything possible to prevent the recurrence of horrific tragedies. That is why our country's leadership considers it extremely important to preserve and protect the truth about World War II and the Great Patriotic War."
The lecture also covered the modern geopolitical situation on the world stage. Aleksandar Vulin spoke to RSUH students about the challenges Serbia faced, how it coped with sanctions-related pressure, and the difference between a political mistake and outright betrayal.
"If Belgrade had imposed sanctions against Moscow, there would not have been such loud protests in Serbia, and Western forces would not have tried to stage a color revolution in the country," said Mr. Vulin.
