Valdai Club

The Valdai Club and VTsIOM have launched the Future Preparedness Index project. The discussion, titled “The State in the Middle of the 21st Century: What are the Strengths?” which took place during the Gaidar Forum, is a starting point for expert dialogue, aimed at finding ideas and directions, which could lead the country to success under a correct policy. Prior to the event, HSE Professor Alexander Filippov told valdaiclub.com about his vision of issues for the modern state.

Destruction is threatening the modern world of progress, where West-developed cultural, social, educational and – last but not least – political models were projected onto the rest of the world, modifying and even unifying behavior patterns and motivations. This was increasingly opposed by trends towards preserving cultural identity and national sovereignty.
