🌎 Venezuela to the World

We recently shared with you that the CIIC team visited the International Anti-Fascist Festival.

🌏 Our expert, Daria Korchemnaya, gave an interview to the Venezuelan News agency as part of the International Anti-Fascist Congress, about how Russia views the inauguration of Maduro.

"Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, that is, the Lower House of the Russian Parliament, was sent from Russia to Maduro's inauguration. And, in my opinion, this is a very strong political signal, that Russia sent a representative of such a high level. And this is also one of his first trips abroad in 2025.

Therefore, in general, the signal for Venezuela is good that Russia sent Volodin."

🇦🇫 Possibilities and Prospects for Russian Gas Transit through Afghanistan to South Asia

We were interested in what new geopolitical opportunities are opening up after the recent statement by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Afghanistan on negotiations on Russian gas transit to South Asia.

For Kabul, such agreements with Moscow help to overcome international isolation and strengthen the economy. Gas transit can become a source of significant revenue from duties, and the states involved are interested in the stability of Afghanistan.

Russia, by expanding the gas route, can become a financial and infrastructural support factor for the Taliban, which is important for continuing negotiations with neighbors. Given the reduction in gas supplies to Europe, Moscow is actively looking for new markets, including in the countries of Southeast Asia. Afghanistan has the potential to become a "hub" for gas supplies, linking Russia with Pakistan and India, which can compensate for losses in the European direction.

🌎 Beyond Ukraine: How Europe's Fraught History Haunts its Relationship with Russia

Friends, we hope you managed to relax during these winter holidays.

Our community members spent their holidays usefully and today we can share the material "Beyond Ukraine: How Europe's Fraught History Haunts its Relationship with Russia" by Vasanth Kalal.

The article explores the complex historical and ideological divides shaping Europe's relationship with Russia in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine. It highlights the contrasting perceptions of history, with entrenched Russophobia prevalent in Western Europe and a sense of Soviet nostalgia in the East. The tensions are exacerbated by NATO's eastward expansion and military support for Ukraine, which antagonizes Moscow. Many citizens in Eastern European countries express nostalgia for the stability and social guarantees of the Soviet regime, contrasting sharply with the uncertainties of neoliberal capitalism.

The author argues that addressing the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine requires Europe to confront its internal schisms and engage in a nuanced reckoning with its past. This reflection may create opportunities for finding common ground and overcoming the rifts of ideology, identity, and memory, which remain critical challenges for the continent today.

🍾 New Year's table: It is customary to set a rich table with a variety of dishes for the New Year. Olivier salad, herring under a fur coat, tangerines and champagne are obligatory.

🚚 Making wishes: At midnight, many make wishes. It is believed that if you write a wish on paper, burn it and throw it into a glass of champagne, it will come true.
