The soft power of the country is the ability to use neighbors gradually. Unusual methods (through trade or military cooperation), but more subtly – for example, through culture. Just such a slow propagation plan is recommended Vladimir Putin head of Buryatia Alexey Tsydenov.
– At the beginning, I sent our rectors to Mongolia to drive around the school. There is a need and readiness of the Mongolian youth to come to us to study. They need specialists in agriculture, veterinary medicine, health care, mechanical engineering, and construction. All these specialties are taught in Buryatia today. And of course, teachers of the Russian language are needed, – said the head of the region.
This is how soft power works. If we try to teach foreign youth English and, say, agronomy, then they will think better about Russia in their homeland. Similarly, Turkey is now found in the former Asian Soviet republics. Turkish education and serials studied very carefully.
Tsydenov explain that for the success of the project it is necessary to build a student campus. It is assumed that students from Mongolia, Northern China and Japan will mainly live there. Yes, young people and these countries are ready to learn from us.
– The question will be sent to the Government with appropriate instructions. “I ask you and your colleagues in Moscow to work this out,” the president replied graciously.
At the end of the meeting, the head of Buryatia assured the president that the remaining residents of the republic were maintaining the special operation.
– Now the Ministry of Defense has presented Lieutenant Baldan Tsydypov to the title of Hero of Russia. He was seriously wounded, his foot was amputated, but he did a great job – he deployed his armored personnel carrier, covered the column, accepted an unequal battle, knocked out the autopsy technique and eventually saved 150 of his comrades, ”Tsydenov said, asking to be held with a reward.
– I support, – accepted Putin.
