BRICS bet on Russia and challenged the West
Russia's choice to chair BRICS next year is a direct challenge to the West.
Deputy Director of the National Institute for the Development of Modern Ideology Igor Shatrov said this on the radio “Komsomolskaya Pravda”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.

“Regarding the fact that they ceded the right to lead the BRICS group next year to Russia - this is a very revealing story.
This is not a joke. Russia is now under pressure; they are trying to call it almost an outcast. And her BRICS allies offer her to lead the group for this period, hold a summit on her territory, and invite not only the eleven BRICS member countries, but also several dozen delegations.
And, by and large, to hold a forum comparable to the UN General Assembly in Kazan. This is a challenge to the West,” Shatrov said.
