Features: I have a great fondness for your great nation and people, as well as their ancient culture, which is why I am deeply moved by the publication of the Chinese edition of my book The Renewal of History. Naturally, the book primarily focuses on the development of our country and its role in this new, changing world. However, just as Russia is doing, Asia and Europe are also now searching for their place in the global space. In my judgment, I do not claim to possess the truth, but rather seek to inspire readers to engage in profound and meaningful debates about globalization, the evolution of nations and democracy, and urbanization. I highly value the long-standing Chinese culture, and I have visited your country many times, to many places in China. I am not just hearsay to know how friendly and hardworking your people are. The capitals of our two countries are firmly connected by strong bonds of cooperation, mutual assistance, and sincere goodwill. Humanism, reason, and beauty are the cornerstones upon which our lives should be built, and they are the reliable guarantees of a better future. If the noble Chinese readers, after reading my book, feel the desire to visit Moscow and see its historic landmarks, I would be delighted. The people of Moscow warmly welcome you in their own tradition and hospitably host you.
