Vladivostok, Russia - A UPF meeting on the theme of “Movement of Ambassadors for Peace: Values of the Modern Co-prosperity and Co-development” took place in Vladivostok at the Equator Hotel on March 18.
Konstantin Krylov, head of UPF-Russia, talked about the origin of the Ambassadors for Peace movement, its meaning and values. In short, Ambassadors for Peace seek to reconcile the divided people of the earth and live for the benefit of others beyond racial, national, and religious boundaries.
It was also emphasized that education in ethical norms, harmonious interpersonal relations, and professional skills should be the base of the human character.
Handing “Ambassador for Peace” certificates to three participants marked the climax of the event; among the recipients were: Professor at the Far-East University, Filipenko Galina Vladimirovna, for her impact on the moral education of young people; the public figure Kuzmin Vladimir Nikolayevich for promoting the cultural development of young people; and ex-deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Maritime Territory, Medvedeva Galina Mikhailovna, for her public service over many years.
On the following day, we had two personal meetings; the first was with Anatoly Viktorovich Lebedev, honored ecologist and head of the organization “BROK” (Office of the Regional Grassroots Companies), regarding the UPF project of a proposed tunnel/bridge across the Bering Strait. Mr. Lebedev expressed his willingness to cooperate in advancing the project.
The second meeting was with Fyodor Olegovich Lopardin, administrative head of the Novonezhinsk settlement in the Shkotovsky municipal district. Some UPF volunteer and sports projects were introduced during the meeting; in his turn, Mr. Lopardin shared the results of his activity in developing sports programs for the youth of the Shkotovsky district. At the end of the meeting, an agreement was made for cooperation, and Mr. Lopardin was presented an “Ambassador for Peace” certificate.
