From September 28 to October 3, 2016 in Skopje (Macedonia) was held session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly … It was another planned eventattended and delegation from Russia … It was headed by the ancestor of the Federation Council for International Affairs Andrey Klimov, who reported to reporters.

An important point for our delegation was the absence of scandals and attacks on Russia, which was usually indispensable in the past.

“But we, anticipating all sorts of provocations,” Andrey Arkadyevich said at the beginning of his speech, “printed out the text of the Minsk Agreements in English and distributed these printouts to all delegations, with underlining that Kiev was responsible for all points, including those that were not completed.

But all the same, by the end of the day of meetings, the Swedish colleague did ask a question containing accusations of Russia's aggression against Ukraine, etc., to which the representatives of Ukraine reacted. And at this event it was accepted that the one whom this question concerns has the right to answer even an unexpected question. But everything calmed down after the performance of the Ukrainians.

- In general, the main topic at the assembly was the problem of refugees in Europe. They always returned to it, having already moved on to another topic. Of course, this is the most pressing topic for the majority of the delegations gathered here. Indeed, besides the European countries, the OSCE includes only 2 American countries (the USA and Canada), several North African countries and Mongolia, in the capital of which, in particular, the previous meeting was held.

Indeed, Europeans, even the Baltic countries, seemingly targeting Russia with their "anti" military attacks, are most worried about the question of "foreigners" whom they will have to receive according to quotas issued in Brussels. Moreover, it should be noted that these “foreigners” are far from Russians with mentality, morality and behavioral motives similar to the indigenous people, but Africans who do not want to work and assimilate somehow into the measured rhythm of life.

Andrei Klimov continued his story about the PACE Assembly, turning to Syria. Today the world seems to have turned upside down. The Russian Aerospace Forces, which are in Syria at the invitation of the country's government, for a minute, a UN member, are helping to free the country from militants of various terrorist groups. And what are Danish and Australian planes doing there, not to mention the US and British aviation?.. Note that the militants' weapons have a heavy "cross", an inscription about the manufacturer. All of it is made in the West.

After covering the main topics, Andriy Arkadyevich settled on the "masterpiece" of Ukrainian parliamentarianism, an album that was distributed by the Ukrainian delegation called "Reform Progress in Ukraine".

The direction of this memorandum is obvious, give us money, but the content is striking in illogicalism. For example, the figures for the decline in industrial production by 20%, a decrease in international trade by $ 25 billion. also by 20% combined with the growth of registered facts of corruption by 39 times (they themselves write it). The document contains 2 photographs of 2014 and 2016, the first one contains 3 servicemen in Soviet-style body armor, and the second one is military in camouflage and with black glasses, it is not clear what kind of tribe?

Finally, a journalist from a Danish media outlet asked about improving relations. How to do it in modern conditions. Andrey Klimov replied:

- Let the opponents of Russia first read the fundamental documents, for example, the UN Charter. After all, Russia by its actions nowhere violates any international legislation or the legislation of other countries. And what happens to the other side, who accuses us of all mortal sins?
