The importance of traditional cultural and moral values in the modern world cannot be overstated. We have all encountered the overwhelming influence of Westernization, which has altered our cultural DNA and led millions of people to pursue fleeting and foreign values.
At the heart of what makes Russian citizens who they are lie our cultural and moral values. These values act as both a guiding principle and an ideal to which we should strive. Like DNA, traditions and values are deeply embedded within us: we begin to embrace them from our very first breath, absorbing them with our mother’s milk. However, values must be safeguarded from external threats. For this reason, Russia is committed to protecting not only its own traditional values but also the values of all peoples around the world.
