01:16Good afternoon.

01:17I'm fine and I'm ready to answer your questions.

01:20Thank you very much.

01:22First of all, I would like to know how is your impression of this event?

01:27I and my organization now knew about this festival and we flew on a plane to Venezuela

01:39and visited this awesome festival of anti-fascism.

01:45And there's a lot of Russian people here attending.

01:48How many people are in your delegation, do you know the number?

01:51We have 80 people in our organization, 40 from my organization.

01:59And what is your expectation from this anti-fascist festival?

02:02What do you want to happen here?

02:04What do you want to see?

02:07I'm glad to see people in this festival from various countries and it's so cute what your

02:19people support with ideas and love our president and our country.

02:27And Venezuela is taking quite a leading stance in this organization.

02:32The main seat of this festival is here in Caracas.

02:37How do you evaluate the position of Venezuela in this global fight against fascism and neo-fascism?

02:43I know what our country support with ideas and we visited this festival to know about

02:52your country and your people.

02:58Thank you very much.

02:59So, would you like to add something about Venezuela or about the event?

03:04Anything else you would like to say?

03:06We think that this festival is awesome and I hope that I will visit your country in the

03:15next year.

03:16Okay, thank you very much.

03:18So Mr. Kuritsyn is one of the 80 members coming from Russia, 80 young members, and his organization

03:26has sent 40 delegates to this event.

03:30There are a lot of Russian parliamentarians also participating in this anti-fascist international

03:37that gathered here.

03:38We will have the opportunity to later talk to some of them also, but we see, we notice

03:45that there is a huge interest towards this organization, towards this event in the Russian

03:52Federation.

03:53Obviously, the Russian Federation, which has a strong history, this is worth emphasizing,

03:59in the struggle against fascism, it is the Russian Federation, the Soviet Union that

04:05has defeated the European fascism in the Second World War.

04:10This is worth reminding.

04:11So they are here and they are attending the sessions.

04:15In the afternoon, different sessions will take place in the topics women, students,

04:21young movements, social movements, native people, workers will be another topic as well

04:28as, as I mentioned, the parliamentarians that gathered together in this anti-fascist international

04:35that has started today and will last until the 11th of January 2025.
