MOSCOW, October 1 - RIA Novosti. Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed the hope that the second quarter of the 21st century will be written in textbooks as the beginning of the construction of a just world, otherwise textbooks will not be needed.

“I would like to believe that our descendants will be able to learn from future history textbooks that the second quarter of the 21st century became a turning point when humanity, realizing the scale of changes and challenges to its existence, found the strength to put aside squabbles, ambitions and selfishness and unite to solve common problems, turned the technological revolution from a set of threats into a wide range of opportunities,” Putin said at the plenary session of the 23rd annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club.

Putin also expressed hope that textbooks will describe the second quarter of the 21st century as a period when the world began to solve the problems of social inequality and environmental degradation, realized the futility of military confrontation and dictatorship and the need for an acceptable solution to emerging issues and problems.

“We have finally begun to build a new sustainable world order. I am sure that this is exactly how it will be, because if all this does not happen, there is a risk that there will be no one to study from these textbooks, and the textbooks themselves will not appear,” he added.

The Valdai International Discussion Club is an association of leading foreign and Russian experts in the field of political science, economics, history and international relations. The club was created in September 2004 on the initiative of the RIA Novosti agency, the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, and the magazines "Russia in Global Affairs" and Russia Profile. The club owes its name to the location of the first conference, which took place in Veliky Novgorod near Lake Valdai.
