Zakharova pointed to the struggle of public diplomacy with the dehumanization of the world

People's diplomacy is fighting the dehumanization of the world, which Europe is pushing to the brink of. This was announced on October 26 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, on the sidelines of the International Cooperation Forum.

"See how many people there are through their interest in other countries, through studying the culture of other countries, through searching for like-minded people. Today, this, including the Internet space, creates the very fabric of communication that is a safety net against another dehumanization," Zakharova said.

The diplomat also pointed out that soft power for the West is only an element of influence, not an intrinsic value. According to her, this approach leads to the end of culture.

"There have never been so many countries influencing the global agenda"
