The successful organization of the Games of the Future in Kazan not only once again confirmed the highest position of Russia as one of the leading powers in the fields of sports and high technologies, both in terms of results in competition as well as an organizer of such global events, but also has clearly defined a new global trend with enormous potential. The first-ever Games of the Future have concluded. The games took place at 11 competition venues in Kazan, as well as in Innopolis and the federal territory of Sirius….

Soon young people, experts and distinguished guests from all over the world will come together in Sochi, Russia, for the World Youth Festival 2024, the largest youth event in the world. Volunteers and organisers are already at work at the federal territory ‘Sirius’ (the Olympic Park), where the main programme will take place from 1^st – 7^th of March. The history of this event goes back decades; the first such festival was held by the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) in 1947 in Prague…

There is a great evil in our midst. It’s surreal. Humanity, all of us, are shackled in a lunatic fabrication. COVID and other catastrophes should have brought us closer to realising this collectively. Forces, the so-called conspiracy theorists over, their actual existence is reflected in the lies right before us. If you’ll bear with me here, perhaps in my small way, I can shed a pinpoint of light on the truth.

Climate Change is undoubtedly the greatest existential threat facing humanity today. As wars rage around the globe and countries pursue economic and political policies that are causing ever-increasing fragmentation, scientists and climate activists find that their voices fall on deaf ears. The COVID-19 crisis exposed societies all over the world to the risks posed by large-scale shocks to the system of Global Value Chains (GVCs) that bring food from farmers thousands of miles away to our supermarkets and our tables. However, scientists argue that a climate change crisis…

The capital of Tatarstan, Kazan, is preparing to host the major international tournament Games of the Future. This event once again proves Russia’s ability not only to organize international top meetings and competitions at the highest level, but also and in general, the country’s confirmed position in the field of high technologies – at the time when the growing national independence in such a key sector maintains its openness to the world and joint interactions. The Games of the Future will therefore be held in Kazan…

In April-May this year, India, now one of the world’s leading powers, will hold general elections to choose the members of its lower house of parliament and, consequently, to elect a new government. We should add the word “formally” here, because all the procedures prescribed by the existing constitution will need be complied with.For, as previously noted in NEO, there is now little doubt that the National Democratic Alliance, the center-right coalition that has ruled since 2014, will win yet another victory (the third in a row, albeit with varying margins). The NDA comprises more than forty parties and movements, but it is dominated by the Bharatiya Janata Party…

There is now an unequivocal scientific consensus that political, economic, social and cultural issues in Sub-Saharan Africa must be viewed through the prism of ethnicity. This hypothesis is supported by the multi-ethnicity characteristic of most of the states in the region and the rich empirical base of inter-ethnic conflicts and contradictions based on the study of East, Tropical and Southern Africa. Nevertheless, with regard to the territory of the former Western Sudan and, according to some data, some other areas of the African continent, it is appropriate to speak of a significant levelling…
