Branches of the International Movement of Russophiles (IMR), created four months ago, have opened in many countries in Asia, Africa and Europe. Nikolai Malinov, leader of the IMR, spoke about how the association is developing, about its tasks and plans, on the air of the Big Game program on July, 13. A video with his speech is posted on the Nikolay Malinov telegram channel.
''In Asia, we have a good branch in Indonesia, a good branch in India,' said Nikolai Malinov. — Last week, on July 6, we opened our network in Egypt, in Alexandria. And we held a round table discussion on our tasks in protecting Russian culture. Yesterday we held a founding event in Italy, Milan.'' He also announced the opening of the Middle East section of the association in Syria.
Nikolai Malinov noted that a IMR branch will open at the upcoming Russia-Africa forum, which will be held in St. Petersburg at the end of July. Currently, speeches of nine speakers from the association are being prepared.
In addition, Malinov announced the creation of the organization's website and YouTube channel. ''I live in a country where there is the biggest Russophile sentiment in NATO,'' he said, adding that 62% of Bulgarians support Russia, not Ukraine and NATO. Despite this, Malinov stated, the West is "preparing Bulgaria as the next anti-Russia."
