Russian Federation and Youth Diplomacy Capacity:

As we know, diplomacy is actually a foreign policy doctrine within the framework of each country's foreign policy doctrine. The foreign policy doctrine of a country, usually a general statement of its foreign policy, announces by the head of state or the foreign minister. The purpose of any country's foreign policy doctrine is to provide general principles to exercise foreign policy and conducting diplomacy. These principles allow the political leadership of a country to deal appropriately with different situations and account for the behavior of the state towards other countries.

The acceptance and recognition of multiculturalism has led to view world culture with a diversity approach, not cultural assimilation. That is, every society has its own culture and must be understood according to its own standards. The role of NGOs is expanding in developed countries due utilizing the role, energy, potential, and reformist spirit of youth. These capacities have used to contribute to the public diplomacy of the countries and to spread the word of “youth diplomacy” among the elites. Youth diplomacy is defined as the action taken by young people interested in the national interest of the country in collaboration with other youth living abroad to achieve a long-term international strategy (Modabber,2015).

Youth Diplomacy is a tool to utilize the youth's vibrant and creative power to promote national interests by understanding the world's mass of youth, recognizing, informing, influencing foreign audiences, delivering a message to non-audiences, developing youth dialogue, holding international models and practicing global governance, friendship of the world's elites, and the belief in national humanitarian strategies. A very precise model and strategy that is highly operational in the national interest of countries to promote peacebuilding discourses around the world, has been on the agenda of Putin's youth and foreign policy oversight agencies since his presidency. As the newest example, on the sidelines of the Far East Economic Summit in Vladivostok (2019), Vladimir Putin took part along with the Prime Minister of India at the simultaneously held international youth program.

In 2017, the 19th Russian Youth and Student Festival, with the participation of more than 20,000 young people and students from 150 countries (according to the Summit website), was held with the Putin's order. The aim of this event was introducing Russian culture to the youth of the world, utilizing the face-to-face talk capacity of youth diplomacy, to provide a better understanding for world youth of Russia's cultural, social, economic and scientific capacities. It was a great and unprecedented action similar to the UN youth diplomacy programs was held by the United States America. A program with such a scope has not been held by any country over the years.

Division of the program into Diplomatic (Moscow Youth World Summit) and Non-Governmental Youth Program with a capacity for presence of more than 20,000 young people of all religions, races, colors, cultures along with a variety of executive programs and exhibition stands which was provided for all countries equally, to present their culture to other countries, is itself an precise example of a successful and complete organized panel for youth diplomacy that would be remembered by all participating young people in Russia and will permanently neutralize the American media propaganda against Russian culture and politics in their minds. President Putin's company at the opening of the summit raised a sense of closeness to the countries and youth participating, and directed the organizers of event to achieve their ultimate goals of the summit.
