LaRouches Address Russia’s Destiny at Hearings of the Duma in Moscow
July 22, 2022—In its issue of July 6, 2001, EIR published these reports of Lyndon LaRouche and Helga Zepp-LaRouche making presentations to the State Duma of the Russian Federation a week earlier, on LaRouche’s credit and economic development policy and, specifically, on the Eurasian Land-Bridge plan. To highlight Richard Black’s report in this issue on Lyndon LaRouche’s interventions in Russia, we republish here those two LaRouche presentations to the Duma, beginning with EIR’s introduction from that 2001 issue.
U.S. Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. spoke before the Russian State Duma’s Economics Committee in Moscow on June 29, 2001 at the invitation of the Economics Committee’s Chairman, Dr. Sergei Glazyev. LaRouche’s subject was the global financial and economic crisis, and the way to overcome it. In addition to the Duma delegates, more than 100 scientists, economic experts, and media representatives attended the special hearing, whose theme was “Ensuring the Development of the Russian Economy Under Conditions of a Destabilized World Financial System.” Other speakers included Academician Dimitri Lvov of the Russian Academy of Sciences; Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the international Schiller Institutes; Dr. Jonathan Tennenbaum of German Schiller Institute; Sen. Ivo Tarolli, Secretary of Italy’s Christian Democratic Center party; H.E. Datuk Yahya Baba, Malaysia’s Ambassador to Moscow; and Dr. Tatyana Koryagina, senior economist of the Institute for Macroeconomic Research at the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade.
The appearance of Senator Tarolli is of special note. He has introduced a series of resolutions into the Italian Senate, pressing for government support and aggressive promotion of the New Bretton Woods proposal, first advanced by Lyndon LaRouche, for the convening of an international heads-of-state conference, in order to overhaul the bankrupt global financial system. His remarks before the Duma focussed on these proposals.
Addressing the Russian Media
On June 28, Glazyev and LaRouche were featured panelists at a two-hour press conference, in which about 50 media representatives took part, including five television crews and reporters from Izvestiya and the English-language Moscow Times. A transcript of the panelists’ opening remarks was distributed in the United States by Federal News Service, under the title, “Press Conference with a Group of Russian and Foreign Experts Regarding the Current Economic Situation in Russia.”
On the evening of June 28, LaRouche delivered a lecture on the Russian-Ukrainian scientist Vladimir Vernadsky before 150 scientists at the Institute of Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, also known as the Lebedev Institute.
