It is not often possible to meet a person who objectively expressed own judgments regarding contemporary world events. Giulietto Chiesa, an Italian journalist, writer and public figure, is doubtfully among such people. This Italian politician is well-known as an official expert of Russian state media.
Thus, his visit to Kirov by the invitation of VyatSU top-management was considered to be an extraordinary event. The rich visit program included various meetings with VyatSU students, post-graduate students, faculty members, and the public. But the main purpose of Giulietto Chiesa’s arrival was his speech within the educational project “Lectures at the Polytechnic”, where he delivered a lecture “Global chaos: is there any way out?”
A lecture is not quite suitable definition to this event.
This was, most likely, a detailed interview with both a professional journalist and a caring person who is genuinely concerned with issues of instability and imbalance of the modern world.
The main theses were based on the recently published Chiesa’s book “Global chaos. Russia is back, and the West crisis. Good Bye Russia!” (2018).
In brief, it was about the role of Russia in the conditions of the military-political imbalance, economic sanctions, the importance of resistance to American ideology, and the role of religion as a tool for peoples’ negotiability, the necessity to develop personal intelligence for one’s consciousness protecting from false information and mythology of pop culture.
