Vadim Doni, "We need to communicate with the world in order to understand what is happening in the world"

27.10.2017

Members of the Pridnestrovian delegation coped more than successfully with the honorable mission of representation of our republic in the world. They say that young people are not the same today; we have that very youth! Thanks to the young Pridnestrovians, the world learned that among 188 countries, whose delegations arrived in Sochi, there is one more - the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic. Although the unrecognized, but established state.

The atmosphere of the world festival of youth and students was the most favorable, having access to communication, new acquaintances, discoveries, and friendship. The organization of the festival was also at the highest level. Emotions, impressions for a long time will not settle with the participants of this world youth forum. It will give a new impetus to our youth.

A special sensation of the unexpected appearance at the opening of the festival was Vladimir Putin. It was he who in the 15-thousandth hall of the Ice Palace charged positive energy for the entire duration of the festival.

We tried to visit the largest possible number of events, everywhere to visit, everywhere to have time. Every evening we summed up the results of the day, and most importantly - planned where we would visit tomorrow. The events were uncountable, and all interesting, cognitive, formal and informal. We had to choose the most interesting. Not everything was possible to visit, because, as it turned out, representatives of various countries in Sochi came more than it was stated originally. There were more than a million official applications for participation. Now you can imagine how lucky we are!

The festival expanded our horizons. There are many countries with conflict potential in the world. When you compare our situation with the situation in other countries where there is conflict, you are convinced that in our corner of the globe it is not so acute, thanks God, there is no constant fighting. People in conflicts are dying in other countries of the world. What can be more expensive than human life?

We liked the speech of the Speaker of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin. He drew attention to the prospects for the development of youth parliamentarism. He spoke about those very social lifts, which are called to raise talented youth in various fields to the heights of power. And the tendency of rejuvenation of power in the last few months is clearly traced in Russia. The State Duma intends to increase the representation of the youth parliament three times. We talked with the representative Maria Voropaeva, invited her to visit us in the Supreme Council and in the Youth Parliament.

Eminent artists, directors, sportsmen - Vladimir Menshov, Sergei Bezrukov, Fyodor Bondarchuk, Alina Kabaeva and others performed for the youth. They talked about their own hard way to glory. In the course of the meeting with Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the representative of our republic was the first to ask a question. It concerned the adoption of Russian citizenship. It is noteworthy that this worries not only Pridnestrovians, it is relevant for many.

We were recognizable, we tried everywhere to "light up" our attributes (even a snowman with a Pridnestrovian flag cobbled together in the mountains) understood that in the age of modern telecommunication technologies this means a lot. By the way, we once again saw how the rest of the world took a step forward in this respect in Sochi. We should also strive to develop IT technologies in Pridnestrovie. The future is for it.

They often invented events, only to have more friends. Invariably - national, incendiary songs and dances, which formed a common round dance. It was the language of communication of the World Festival of Youth and Students. The youth language. Despite the language barriers, everyone understood each other. A sea of ​​positive things, there were no sad, sad faces, the atmosphere was friendly. I have never seen such a quantity of national color anywhere. We are very different, but we are one on this planet. It is interesting that we found our compatriots, Pridnestrovians, in various delegations. In the Italian - there were two young residents of Bendery who have been working in Italy for six years. Some of the young people from Pridnestrovie went from Rossotrudnichestvo. So, there were more Pridnestrovians at the festival than officially announced.

Special relations connected us with the youth of our fraternal republics - South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh.

All of us there, in Sochi, became friends, parting was sad. But it was necessary to return home to recharge all the Pridnestrovians with a positive. I think that the Sochi experience of holding a youth festival, maybe not on this scale, needs to be adopted. We have something to be proud of, we have something to show. We need to "break the templates" to ensure a decent future.

It is necessary to mix with the spirit of Sochi events cycle, to understand how close the world for everyone is. We need to communicate with the world in order to understand what is happening in the world.

We told our president about our impressions and plans on our arrival. He proposed to summarize all the proposals so that in the future they could be implemented in our realities.
