Members of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) have ratified the sanctions placed on Russia and Belarus, meaning the pair continue to be suspended from the organization and all team events held under its auspices.
The ITF confirmed the step on Monday following a virtual extraordinary general meeting held last week.
The head of the Russian Tennis Federation, Shamil Tarpischev, had already indicated to local media that the step had been taken, although it was only formally announced by the ITF this week.
“In a virtual Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on Friday 6 May by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), member nations ratified the ITF Board’s 1 March 2022 suspension of the Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) and the Belarus Tennis Federation (BTF) as ITF members,” read a message ..
Anurag Thakur stresses role being played by Indian language cinema
Union Minister for Information & Broadcasting Shri Anurag Thakur has said that Cinema, as a soft power can play a major role in nation branding initiative. Addressing the valedictory session of the two-day Seminar in Mumbai through video message, Shri Thakur said “Indian film industry and the Government today recognize the potential of culture at the highest level. Depiction of one’s culture is a very strong component -of any country’s soft power”.
The Minister further said that the capacities of nations to make themselves attractive in a global marketplace for ideas has become an important aspect of contemporary international relations. “Cinema can play a major role in doing this by aiming for nation branding initiatives” he added.
The Minister observed that rapid liberalization, deregulation, privatization of media and culture industry have transformed the film industry in India over the past few decades, and at the same time the expansion of global digital media industries and dis..
Football diplomacy and youth empowerment
With the FIFA World Cup on top of the agenda, Qatar envisions a path forward, based on fully believing in the great potential of football diplomacy as an instrument of peacemaking and moderation
Across the world, more and more state and non-state actors have begun to recognize and capitalize on the potential of public diplomacy, as opposed to traditional diplomacy. The latter, which centers on the state and traditional tools of diplomacy often lack the grassroots perspective of the general citizenry and youth in particular.
Through public diplomacy, nonstate actors, more specifically concerned citizens, are given the opportunity to not only voice their concerns, but to have a role in decision-making as well. Football diplomacy, therefore, is an example of how soft power in today’s world has the potential to address increasing global inequalities, environmental and other socio-economic challenges.
The growing position of sports in politics is particularly significant because it not o..
Umstrittene Äußerungen von Andrij Melnyk: Was darf Diplomatie?
Paul Widmer, Verfasser des Basiswerks “Diplomatie – Ein Handbuch”, vermutet hinter Andrij Melnyks Äußerungen eher “Kalkül, als einen Ausrutscher”. Das Verhalten des ukrainischen Botschafters entspreche nicht dem “klassischen Verhalten eines Diplomaten”. Zudem werde die Rolle der Diplomatie im aktuellen Ukraine-Krieg zunehmend “sehr schwierig, weil vieles dermaßen in der Öffentlichkeit ausgetragen wurde.” Ein Gespräch.
Hat Sie das überrascht, als Sie von diesen Äußerungen gehört haben?
Paul Widmer: Ja, ganz sicher. Das ist außergewöhnlich, dass ein Diplomat sich in der Öffentlichkeit so ausdrückt. Aber man muss auch zugestehen, dass die Situation der Ukraine ganz außergewöhnlich ist. Aber dennoch entspricht es nicht dem klassischen Verhalten eines Diplomaten.
Gibt es da ungeschriebene Regeln, was man als Diplomat sagen darf und wie man sich zu verhalten hat?
Widmer: In den letzten Jahren hat sich grundsätzlich sehr viel verändert, vor allem mit dem Aufkommen der sogenannten Public D..
71 years of RFE/RL: How the CIA-founded American state run media...
Originally established as an anti-Bolshevik endeavor, RFE/RL has thrived as US-Russia relations have nose-dived
The first of May marks the 51st anniversary of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (hereinafter “RFE/RL”, although this didn’t become the official name until 1976) – radio stations which broadcast into Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, respectively. As detailed in an internal CIA document from 1951 titled “Radio Aims and Objectives,” RFE/RL was to be operated by refugees or exiles from the various Socialist Bloc countries to broadcast information intended to encourage “hatred against the regime(s)” and to increase the “will to resist the regime(s).” In other words, this project had an explicit function to remove governments unfavorable to Washington.
Undoubtedly, May 1 was chosen as the launch of this project as it coincided with International Workers’ Day, one of the most important holidays in the Socialist Bloc.
From its inception until 1972, it was the CIA which funded R..
Russian orchestra protests ‘balalaika ban’ (VIDEO)
Musicians played songs by pop group ABBA on balalaikas in front of Sweden’s consulate in St. Petersburg
A Russian youth national-instruments orchestra staged an improvised “protest concert” in front of the Swedish consulate in St. Petersburg on Monday. This comes after Swedish authorities earlier banned a musical performance in Sweden over the inclusion of balalaikas.
The instruments, branded “a symbol of Russia,” had been deemed offensive by some locals amid Moscow’s ongoing military offensive in Ukraine. The balalaikas were set to be played during a charity performance to support Ukraine by ‘Soedra Bergens Balalaikor’, a local folk band in the Swedish city of Uppsala.
In protest, the musicians from the Russian ‘Terema’ orchestra played several songs by Swedish pop group ABBA, including “Dancing Queen” and “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” on traditional Russian folk instruments outside the consulate.
“We have found it a little offensive,” the orchestra’s conductor, Andrey Dolgov, told Russi..
