St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) is hosted in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s home city, and is seen as Russia’s answer to the World Economic Forum’s annual Davos forum. As propaganda this is being billed as the latest milestone in Russia’s exit from the pandemic.
On June 16 SPIEF discussed “The Importance of the Climate Agenda in Key Eurasian Economies.” First on the list of panelists for the SPIEF Climate Change Mytho-Poetic Gathering was Sberbank’s senior vice president for ESG, Tatiana Zavyalova. ESG stands for “Environmental, Social, and Governance.” Almost Schwab’s “stakeholder capitalism.” Italian Fascism or Leninism here? Maybe a unique Eurasian development model. Looking into Dugin talking Eurasian space from Dublin to Vladivostok this is a Finland world built by Russia and partners with a non-Western orientation.
Edvard Slavsquat whom reports on the situation notes “Russia’s largest bank isn’t only interested in developing and distributing clot-shots: in 2020, Sber became the World Economic Forum’s climate change missionary for Russia. (Sber CEO Herman Gref is/was a member of the WEF’s Board of Trustees
From Komsomolskaya Pravda, June 16, 2022:
The head of the Ministry of Health of Russia, Mikhail Murashko, said that vaccination against coronavirus infection may become mandatory in the National Calendar of Preventive Vaccinations.
“We now need to gain some experience, obtain data on the further development of the process, but we are moving towards this. Today we see that a number of foreign colleagues are starting to combine the flu vaccine and the vaccine against COVID infection, this is also underway,” he said on the sidelines of SPIEF.”

Dugin sees socialism as an ultimately revolutionary ideology interpreted within the context of 'the Third Way'. In this interpretation, socialism is seen as containing palingenetic features in order to add finishing strokes to the economic and political renovation envisaged in Dugin's doctrine:
For genuine revolutionary socialism, progress consists of a Leap, a traumatic rupture in the even course of social history. Society (Gesellschaft), 'the old world', 'the world of violence' is, according to genuine socialist doctrine, not capable of 'improvement', but of 'abolition', 'destruction', 'demolition'. Instead, 'a new world' is to appear, 'our world', 'the world of Community (Gemeinschaft)', not the community destroyed by the capitalist society (Gesellschaft) […] but 'a New Community', 'an Absolute Heavenly Community', to which no elements of ontological and social entropy will have access.
