June 29, 2023--U.S. Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., visited Moscow during the last week of June, at the invitation of the Chairman of the Russian State Duma Economics Committee, Dr. Sergei Glazyev. On June 29, LaRouche spoke before the Duma Economics Committee on the global financial and economic crisis, and the way to overcome it. More than one hundred scientists, economic experts and media representatives were present, in addition to Duma delegates. Other speakers at the hearing included Academician Dmitri Lvov, academic secretary of the Economics Division, Russian Academy of Sciences ; Helga Zepp-LaRouche, President of the International Schiller Institute; Dr. Jonathan Tennenbaum of the Schiller Institute; Italian Senator Ivo Tarolli, who is the Secretary of Italy's Christian Democratic Center Party; H.E. Datuk Yahya Baba, the Malaysian Ambassador to Moscow; and the economist Dr. Tatyana Koryagina, senior economist from the Institute for Mascroeconomic Research at the Ministry for Economic Development and Trade.
On the 28th of June, Dr. Glazyev and LaRouche had led a two-hour press conference, in which about 50 media representatives took part, including five television crews, and reporters from Izvestiya and The Moscow Times. LaRouche placed three points in the center of his presentations before the State Duma Committee and the press. First, the impossibility of saving the present world financial system from collapse through whatever sorts of inflationary tricks, and the pressing need for international agreement to establish a new Bretton Woods system with fixed exchange rates. Second, the opportunity for a worldwide economic upturn through building of development corridors through Eurasia, in which Russia, as both a European and Eurasian power, takes on decisive importance. Thirdly, positive developments in Eurasia, which demonstrate the possibility of the realization of the Eurasian Landbridge. There have also been certain improvements in the political situation in the United States in recent weeks, like the change in power in the U.S. Senate, and growing opposition in the Republican Party, to the policies which Bush has followed thus far. On the evening of June 28, LaRouche gave a lecture on the late Russian-Ukrainian scientist, Vladimir Vernadsky, before the Institute of Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, also called the Lebedev Institute. About 150 scientists attended it. For more information, call 1-800-929-7566, or see www.larouchein2004.com -30- Top |
