Legal Protection of Traditional Values: Us and Them
Congress Centre, conference hall E9
Broadcast
With the current propagation of moral ideals that are foreign to Russia, it is becoming important to define the substance of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, solve the problem of their interrelationship, and search for legal instruments to protect values. Amidst aggressive Western propaganda, it is crucial to strengthen the Russian civic identity, unify the multinational people of the Russian Federation, serve the Fatherland and assume responsibility for its fate, remain patriotic, and censure any betrayal of the Motherland. Preserving and promoting traditional Russian spiritual and moral values is key to the security and sovereignty of the Russian state. For Russia and its multinational people, traditional values ensure an inextricable connection with their history and a special attitude towards their Fatherland and families.
