put away in a casket as a curiosity. It is really an amazing country, and it takes an active part in
everything.
It is an objective fact, a fact that many have been remembering recently, though very late unfor-
tunately. But now may be a good time to remember that dialogue is an important instrument of
diplomacy, and that one should probably pay less attention to demagoguery and more attention
to serious reasoning, including the reasoning of small states. This would help maintain order
and stability in the world.

: Distorted information, especially if it's in-
formation about a series of events, may trigger an
even greater risk. Moreover, it may lead to a less res-
olute government policy. It seems that being too con-
ciliatory leads to a softer policy, and an irresolute
policy will prevent a government from coping with
key problems and from keeping the economy running
smoothly.
San Marino should resume its mission. I think San Marino would be able to find a lot of oppor-
tunity for cooperation with Russia, especially because there already exists effective commercial
cooperation between the two countries and they exchange tourists on a large scale. For this rea-
son, I'm convinced that all state institutions in our country, especially its foreign policy bodies,
should seek better relations with Russia. Wide-scale cooperation between Russia and Europe
would guarantee peace, security and friendship of nations, and would facilitate economic, scien-
tific, and cultural development.
In conclusion, I would like to say that I'm sure that San Marino and Russia can offer each other
tremendous opportunities despite their huge territorial difference.
