“China has a multi-thousand-year history and its appearance in the fate of Alexander Zinoviev is not accidental. This is a new stage in the development of high spirituality, the moral renewal of the world and the intellectual maturation of mankind on the basis of the “Factor of Understanding”. The project “Russian Confucius — Alexander Zinoviev” is a powerful intellectual bridge between two powers, between two great civilizations — China and Russia. I am convinced, that the value of the intellectual weapon Alexander Zinoviev will grow and help our peoples defend their interests in the epoch of the aggressive geopolitical strategy of the West, which, pursuing aggressive neocolonial interests, has appointed Russia and China as its main enemies. Our cause is just — we will win!”, — said Olga Zinovieva.
