The IAU position is more than shameful. Scientists, scholars, and researchers can only bu condemn the fascist invasion of Ukraine orchestrated by the new candidate to czar of a new, old idea of Imperial Russia. Putin has decided to leave the civilized world definitively and totally embrace criminal aggression. I am very thankful for your information that I will spread among research institutions and scholars in this part of the world.

For those who are not familiar with the International Association of Academies of Sciences (IAAS), here is some information on it: http://www.icfcst.kiev.ua/Symposium/SPONSORS.html#info (not quiet up-to-date). "The International Association of Academies of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as the IAAS or the Association) was founded on 23 September 1993 when its constituent assembly was held in Kyiv, in which the heads of the National Academies of Sciences of a number of Asian and European countries took part and signed an agreement on the foundation of the IAAS. ... The IAAS comprises, as full members, the National Academies of Sciences of the Azerbaijan Republic, the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Belarus, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Georgia, the Kyrghys Republic, the Republic of Moldova, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, the Republic of Uzbekistan and Ukraine. The Slovak Academy of Sciences takes part in the work of the Association as an observer." In view of this list of members, the Association's attitude towards Russia's war in Ukraine was to be expected.

"All wars are hateful"! in that they leave extreme misery and hopelessness. What is happening in Ukraine, at the heart of Europe, is horrible and the daily images coming from there recall dark episodes. Other examples may be cited:

1. The 'war on terror', has caused at least 500,000 dead according to AFP, Washington, 9 November 2018. https://www.ledevoir.com/monde/540962/etats-unis-la-guerre-contre-le-terrorisme-a-fait-au-moins-500-000-morts-depuis-2001-selon-une-etude Translated from French: "At least 500,000 people have died in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan since the United States launched the "war on terror" after the attacks of September 11....Iraq has the highest death toll heavy for civilians - between 182,272 and 204,575 dead -, followed by Afghanistan (38,480) and Pakistan (23,372). Nearly 7,000 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan...."We may never know the direct toll of these wars",...because many of the casualties recorded as combatants may in fact be civilians, or because civilian casualties have not yet been counted. The toll also does not include indirect victims of the conflict, including those killed by disease or lack of infrastructure".

2. The death toll has already exceeded 380,000, in the "world's biggest humanitarian catastrophe".

In seven years, the war in Yemen will have caused the death of 377,000 people, by the end of 2021, "Le Monde" with "AFP" Published on November 24, 2021

https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2021/11/24/en-sept-ans-la-guerre-du-yemen-aura-cause-la-mort-de-377-000-people-by-the-end-of-the-year-2021_6103373_3210.html

Translation from French: The United Nations (UN) estimates that the seven-year war in Yemen will have caused the death of 377,000 people, direct and indirect victims of the conflict, by the end of 2021. Nearly 60% of deaths, or about 227,000 people, are due to the indirect consequences of the conflict, such as the lack of drinking water, hunger and disease, according to a report, Tuesday, November 23, from the United Nations Program for development (UNDP). This means according to these estimates that the fighting will have left 150,000 dead by the end of this year. The conflict pits Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, against Yemeni government forces, backed since 2015 by a military coalition led by Saudi Arabia. Seven years of war have had "catastrophic effects on the development of the nation", underlines the UNDP, according to which "access to health care is limited or non-existent" and "the economy is on the verge of collapse

Most of the indirect victims are "children particularly vulnerable to malnutrition and undernutrition", explains the UNDP. “In 2021, a Yemeni child under the age of 5 dies every nine minutes as a result of the conflict”, it is written.

The "biggest humanitarian disaster in the world"

According to the UNDP, “1.3 million people” are at risk of death if a peace agreement is not reached by 2030. “A growing proportion of these deaths will occur… as a result of the indirect consequences of the crisis on livelihoods, food prices and the deterioration of basic services, such as health and education,” it says. Escalating fighting, including tank battles and regular bombardments by planes and drones, has destroyed even the most basic infrastructure in some areas, the report continues. Millions of people are on the brink of starvation, with two-thirds of Yemenis dependent on humanitarian aid, according to the UN. “Yemen is the worst and biggest humanitarian disaster in the world, and this disaster continues to worsen”, recalled the UN, and “more than 80% of the population” of approximately 30 million inhabitants “ need humanitarian aid”. “Millions of Yemenis continue to suffer from the conflict, trapped in poverty, with few opportunities to find work and a livelihood,” said Achim Steiner, UNDP Administrator

At the beginning of 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin uttered the famous phrase: "Why do we need such a world if there is no Russia there?" Then it sounded in the context of Russia's readiness to use nuclear weapons in response to enemy aggression. However, this statement has a much deeper meaning, reflecting the philosophy and worldview of the President of Russia.

The destruction of our state and our people (as well as other nations) can occur not only as a result of a nuclear strike. The likelihood of such a scenario is minimal. The emergence of nuclear weapons is so far the most effective tool to prevent the Third World War, which would have happened 40-60 years ago.

But in the modern world, in recent decades, globalism, the left-liberal ideology of building a totalitarian concentration camp under the control of the so-called world government, poses a much greater danger to us as a country and a nation. For many years, especially in the 90s and 00s, such theses were considered conspiracy theories and outright nonsense. Moreover, the globalists have done a lot of work to marginalize and bring this idea to the point of absurdity. Along with an absolutely realistic assessment, fictional versions appeared that disavowed the true meaning.

This can be compared with the assessment of Freemasonry in the XVIII-XX centuries. It is now reliably known that for centuries there have been Masonic organizations and secret societies, which included representatives of the highest authorities. It was not uncommon for a situation in which representatives of seemingly warring states entered the same society. All this is documented, and everyone can get acquainted with the relevant information.

As an example, I will cite the lodge of the Grand Orient of France, which has taken root in Russia. The para-Masonic organization "Great Orient of the Peoples of Russia" included Kerensky and a significant part of the deputies of the State Duma, which brought the country to the February Revolution.

Many laughed at the (then) hypothesis about the existence of some globalist elites, calling it a notion of conspiracy theorists. Not realizing that they themselves have become victims of the globalist left-liberal ideology, which implies the destruction of states and peoples. They fell victim to the beautiful picture and marketing, buying into the cheap productions of collective Hollywood. They themselves did not notice how they began to set as their goal the consumption of an increasing and absolutely unnecessary amount of goods and services. The cult of the Golden Calf has led to massive intellectual and moral degradation, to the degeneration of our (and not only) society. Fortunately, Russia has not passed the point of no return, which the European states have left far behind.

February 24, 2022 radically changed the course of history. Theoretically, it can be said that the globalist model of a unipolar world was already disintegrating. This is all true, but the question was how many states and peoples the globalists would drag with them into oblivion. And Russia has almost come to this abyss.

Now all the masks are off. Now things can be called by their proper names without any fear. Putin speaks openly about the existence of globalist elites and what liberalism brings with it:

“These objective processes are counteracted by Western globalist elites, provoking chaos, inciting old and new conflicts, implementing a policy of so-called containment, and in fact, undermining any alternative, sovereign paths of development. Thus, they are trying with all their might to preserve the hegemony and power that is slipping out of their hands, they are trying to keep countries and peoples in the grip of a neo-colonial order. Their hegemony means stagnation for the whole world, for the whole civilization, obscurantism and the abolition of culture, neoliberal totalitarianism.

And all this is done with one goal - to maintain its dominance, the model that allows you to parasitize the whole world, as it was centuries before, and such a model can only be kept by force.

I repeat again, the era of the unipolar world order is a thing of the past. No matter how the beneficiaries of the current globalist model cling to the usual state of affairs, it is doomed. Geopolitical changes on a historical scale are going in a completely different direction.”

It can be said without exaggeration that on February 24, Russia began the battle not only for its own existence and future. But also for the future of all mankind. We act as a battering ram to the neoliberal globalist model of the world order, accelerating the process of its destruction. It is we who, as before, are saving states and peoples from falling into the abyss of globalism, from which it is already impossible to get out. The sooner globalism and liberalism are destroyed, the more nations will survive.

But it is necessary to clearly understand that we are not fighting against specific individuals, not against specific geopolitical formations. They are only the fruit and form of existence of the left-liberal ideology. And we are fighting with it. And it is insidious, it permeates entire strata of society. And inside Russia there are a huge number of supporters of this ideology. As in February 1917, the decisive blow can be delivered not by an obvious enemy, but by a traitor within the country.

What to do with it? It is impossible to fight ideology with a repressive mechanism. It will cultivate more and more new adepts. Of course, it is necessary to stop the subversive activities of the most odious personalities, but this will be a constant struggle only with the consequences of the problem.

As in the case of nuclear weapons, nuclear deterrence, globalism must be answered with its own ideology. It should be clear and understandable, reflect the views and worldview of the majority of our people. Now I will not even list the main theses and provisions. They are well known and generally accepted. The problem is that they are not united, not structured and, as a result, cannot be the basis of the policy pursued by the state and society. This is where seemingly surprising contradictions come from, when individual ministries are guided by completely different goals and principles.

Therefore, the second stage of the battle for their own sovereign existence should be the formation of a people's ideology. Without this, we will continue to be more or less dependent on foreign influence and will not be able to offer the world a new unique path of development.

Viktor Ya Chernii "The National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine is a member of the International Association of Academies of Sciences" So What! What should we think? I honestly did not understand this kind of inquisitor discourse: why do certain parties want, on the basis of national initiatives or/and decisions, to impose by force positions on international organizations which do not want to enter the topics? There may be various reasons, academic, right of reservation, non-alignment... Or quite simply these international entities consider that the academic question (like Sport, Art, or Literature...) is a universal issue that transcends political positions. Could be also that no consensus had been reached within the International Organization. What should be done? Withdraw as a member and denounce! This was done by the NAS of Ukraine. What else?

The ideology of a unipolar world and the denial of a multipolar world is a new form of global fascism... Today, the United States is the entity that finances Nazism in the world.

Turning Ukraine into a Nazi state is a US project.

The Anti-Fascist Congress gathered in Russia for the first time with the aim of uniting the efforts of the world community in the fight against the ideology of Nazism in all its manifestations. The Congress is called upon to become a platform for defending the historical truth about the decisive contribution of the USSR to the defeat of fascism during the Second World War, as well as for countering the spread of Nazi ideology.
