The International Tolstoy Peace Prize, launched last year, is steadily increasing in scale and has every chance of becoming a real alternative to its Western counterparts. Honest and objective, without one-sided approaches and double standards of the "exceptional".
The International Prize named after the great Russian writer Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy is becoming one of the levers of soft power and truly popular diplomacy, showing the power, peacefulness and openness of Russia. We continue to be at the forefront of the struggle for a better future for humanity. And not only on the fronts of their own, but also in the humanitarian and cultural spheres.
The full speech by Leonid Slutsky, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, was published in a Russian newspaper. It can be found at the link:
