Perspectives Of A Resistance. Ellias Aghili Dehnavi

doctrine, encompasses paying attention to realism-based nationalism to become one of the focal points of power in the future multipolar world with national interests as the main indicator of decision-making, as well as development of relations with the Slavic, Caucasian, West Asian, and Middle Eastern countries and most importantly the creation of a rational balance between the regulation of relations with the eastern and western countries, has given Russia a place in the future of the international system as an effective decision-making state.

       Russian Federation and Youth Diplomacy Capacity:

      As we know, diplomacy is actually a foreign policy doctrine within the framework of each country's foreign policy doctrine. The foreign policy doctrine of a country, usually a general statement of its foreign policy, announces by the head of state or the foreign minister. The purpose of any country's foreign policy doctrine is to provide general principles to exercise foreign policy and conducting diplomacy. These principles allow the political leadership of a country to deal appropriately with different situations and account for the behavior of the state towards other countries.

      The acceptance and recognition of multiculturalism has led to view world culture with a diversity approach, not cultural assimilation. That is, every society has its own culture and must be understood according to its own standards. The role of NGOs is expanding in developed countries due utilizing the role, energy, potential, and reformist spirit of youth. These capacities have used to contribute to the public diplomacy of the countries and to spread the word of “youth diplomacy” among the elites. Youth diplomacy is defined as the action taken by young people interested in the national interest of the country in collaboration with other youth living abroad to achieve a long-term international strategy (Modabber,2015).

      Youth Diplomacy is a tool to utilize the youth's vibrant and creative power to promote national interests by understanding the world's mass of youth, recognizing, informing, influencing foreign audiences, delivering a message to non-audiences, developing youth dialogue, holding international models and practicing global governance, friendship of the world's elites, and the belief in national humanitarian strategies. A very precise model and strategy that is highly operational in the national interest of countries to promote peacebuilding discourses around the world, has been on the agenda of Putin's youth and foreign policy oversight agencies since his presidency. As the newest example, on the sidelines of the Far East Economic Summit in Vladivostok (2019), Vladimir Putin took part along with the Prime Minister of India at the simultaneously held international youth program.

      In 2017, the 19th Russian Youth and Student Festival, with the participation of more than 20,000 young people and students from 150 countries (according to the Summit website), was held with the Putin's order. The aim of this event was introducing Russian culture to the youth of the world, utilizing the face-to-face talk capacity of youth diplomacy, to provide a better understanding for world youth of Russia's cultural, social, economic and scientific capacities. It was a great and unprecedented action similar to the UN youth diplomacy programs was held by the United States America. A program with such a scope has not been held by any country over the years.

      Division of the program into Diplomatic (Moscow Youth World Summit) and Non-Governmental Youth Program with a capacity for presence of more than 20,000 young people of all religions, races, colors, cultures along with a variety of executive programs and exhibition stands which was provided for all countries equally, to present their culture to other countries, is itself an precise example of a successful and complete organized panel for youth diplomacy that would be remembered by all participating young people in Russia and will permanently neutralize the American media propaganda against Russian culture and politics in their minds. President Putin's company at the opening of the summit raised a sense of closeness to the countries and youth participating, and directed the organizers of event to achieve their ultimate goals of the summit.

       Russian resistance, the result of Allied victory:

      But the thing which is important is that the current Russia is the result of the efforts of brave, patient, hardworking and resilient generations who spared no effort to achieve their goals. Meanwhile, the resilience of Russian men and women against the Nazi German fascist army's invasion of Stalingrad, which marked a lasting battle, is admirable and a source of pride for the nation and its youth.

      The Battle of Stalingrad (July 17, 1942 to February 2, 1943) was the successful defense of the former Soviet army and people against German forces that had besieged the city of Stalingrad (now renamed Volgograd) and occupied many parts of it. The Russians consider this battle to be their greatest battle of the "Great Patriotic War," and many historians consider it the largest and most significant battle of World War II.

      The battle actually halted the advance of German forces on the territory of the former Soviet Union, it was in fact a turning point and the tide has turned on the battlefield in favor of the Allied forces. The battle is one of the bloodiest in history, killing more than 2 million people, both military and civilian.

      This historic battle was seen as a turning point in World War II and on the Eastern European Front and one of the most decisive military encounters of this devastating war. German forces consider the occupation of Volgograd as a necessary factor in order to continue their advance into south of the former Soviet Union, as they could easily have taken control of the Caucasus by occupying the city along the Volga River.

      On September 3, 1942, the forces of the Sixth German Army, led by General Paulous, reached the outskirts of the city (current Volgograd) and thought they would soon occupy the city. But this was a strategic mistake because the Germans were unaware of Russia's resilient spirit.

      An experienced Russian general, General V.I. Chuikov, led defense forces of the city, and General Zhukov, the most famous general in the former Soviet army, had troubled German forces with his flashing strikes.

      With the fierce resistance of the Russian people, the German army was finally forced to retreat and leave the city with irreparable damage.

      The victory of the Soviet Union in this battle dealt a severe blow to the German and Hitler's military forces and changed the fate of World War II.

      In this book, due to the importance of this event, in the form of poetry, we have written this resistance with the symbolic depiction of (Sara), a resilient Russian woman, in the only remaining house in the city, so that that historical event can be placed in the audience's mind from another point of view.

      We have also done our best to provide important historical and political analysis in forms of different articles and chapters which certainly will suit our international audience!

      We will now move towards our poetic section which depicts the heroism of the Stalingrad's generals; a vast drawing using words and the magic of the rhymes and meters!
