🇷🇺 Проблема тут не в названии структуры, а в кризисе идеологии, идей и кадров. Февраль 2022-го показал все проблемы с жидкой мягкой силой, но сделано было примерно ничего - все остались на своих местах. Что сейчас собрались делать? Менять вывеску, двигать мебель и увеличивать бюджеты?
❗️Rossotrudnichestvo and the new "soft power" a question of the model, not just money
The statement by the head of Rossotrudnichestvo Yevgeny Primakov about the creation of an analogue of USAID in Russia is an important and correct sign. But, as in any reform, much depends not on the name and not even on the budget, but on how the system itself will be structured.
If you build "soft power" exclusively on the basis of the existing Rossotrudnichestvo (or any other agency with all the ensuing consequences), the risks are obvious: bureaucratization, weak involvement, imitation of work.
The public-private model is the most adequate format in the new conditions. It is private projects that work directly with the audience, and not with departmental KPIs, that have shown in recent years how to shape political meanings.
⚡️⚡️⚡️And let's be honest, many "privateers" often understand much better than officials what exactly needs to be promoted and how.
If everything again comes down to festivals then no new laws will help. But if we use a hybrid model - with flexible management, clear tasks and new performers - there is a chance to create an effective instrument of foreign policy influence.

❗️The farewell ceremony for Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy Mikhail Gudkov, who died in the Kursk Region, was held at the Federal War Memorial.
Gudkov was born in 1983 in the Donetsk Region. He served in the Armed Forces since 2000.
Since February 2022, he took part in the SMO as commander of the 155th separate marine brigade of the Pacific Fleet.
In April, Mikhail Gudkov was appointed to the post of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. He was awarded the title Hero of Russia and awarded two Orders of Courage.
🎖🎖On Sunday, Putin signed a decree awarding Gudkov the Gold Star medal posthumously for courage and heroism shown during the SMO.

⚡️"Fr Boris, due to your recent sermon on the 3rd Sunday after Pentecost at the Intercession of the Holy Virgin Orthodox Church in Cabramatta, in which you spoke about the criminal trial outcome, and due to the detrimental effect this has had on our community, especially those who have been directly affected, victims and their families, you are now suspended from all priestly duties for 1 week (from the date of this Ukase).
I wish to reiterate, in no uncertain terms, that our Diocese condemns and does not tolerate any abuse, especially the abuse of minors."

❗️В поддержку комментарии Рыбаря о нецелесообразности "монополии" «Россотрудничества» над «народной дипломатии».
Еще в 2015 году депутат Государственной Думы РФ Виктор Водолацкий обозначил потенциал «народной дипломатии» через казачьи организации за рубежом.
Водолацкий 10 лет тому назад напрямую призвал федеральные структуры России усилить сотрудничество с такими людьми, как Семен Бойков, в поддержку интересов России за рубежом.
Прошло 10 лет с тех пор, как Водолацкий выступил с этой речью в доме русского зарубежье в Москве.
Где работа федеральных структур, таких как Россотрудничество, в области «народной дипломатии»?
Да, «народные дипломаты», о которых говорит Володацкий, действительно активны и эффективны, но без участия федеральных структур, таких как Россотрудничество.
Back in 2015 Russian State Duma Deputy Viktor Vodolatsky identified the potential for "People's diplomacy" aka "Narodnaya Diplomatiya" operations through Cossacks organisations abroad.
Vodolatsky called upon Russia's Federal structures to increase collaboration with people like Simeon Boikov in support of Russia's interests abroad.
10 years has passed since Vodolatsky made this speech in Moscow.
Where is the work of Federal structures such as Rossotrudnichestvo in the area of "People's Diplomacy"?
Yes, the "People's Diplomats" which Volodatsky refers to are indeed active and effective but without the involvement of Federal Structures such as Rossotrudnichestvo.

📝Россотрудничество и новая «мягкая сила»📝
вопрос модели, а не только денег
Заявление главы Россотрудничества Евгения Примакова о создании в России аналога USAID — знак важный и правильный. Но, как и в любой реформе, многое зависит не от названия и даже не от бюджета, а от того, как будет устроена сама система.
Если строить «мягкую силу» исключительно на базе существующего Россотрудничества (или любого другого ведомства со всеми вытекающими), риски очевидны: бюрократизация, слабая вовлечённость, имитация работы. Эти недостатки уже проявлялись — и в Молдавии, и в Закавказье, и на других направлениях. Многие подходы и фото для галочки себя исчерпали.
📌Мы уже говорили об этом весной, когда Игорь Чайка был назначен замглавы Россотрудничества. Тогда мы отмечали, что его привлечение — шаг в сторону обновления, особенно с учётом опыта в частных гуманитарных инициативах и неформальных переговорах. Но даже с такими фигурами внутри, без переосмысления архитектуры всё упрётся в те же грабли.
❗️Государственно-частная модель — наиболее адекватный формат в новых условиях. Именно частные проекты, работающие напрямую с аудиторией, а не с ведомственными KPI, за последние годы показали, как можно формировать политические смыслы.
Да и будем честны, многие «частники» зачастую гораздо лучше чиновников понимают, что именно нужно продвигать и как.
Если всё снова сведётся к фестивалям и визитам по шаблону, то никакие новые законы не помогут. А вот если задействовать гибридную модель — с гибким управлением, внятными задачами и новыми исполнителями — есть шанс создать эффективный инструмент внешнеполитического влияния.

"The American is back on his favorite political see-saw.
"I'm satisfied with the conversation with Putin." "I'm disappointed with the conversation with Putin." "We are not supplying new weapons to Ukraine." "We will supply a lot of weapons to Ukraine for defense."
How should we regard this?
The same way as before. The way our warriors do. The way the Commander-in-Chief does.
In no way.
Continue to pursue the goals of the Special Military Operation.
Return our land.
Work for Victory."
