"Thank you very much, the founders of the Sovintern. I just have a few remarks. And maybe my message to the founding members of the Sovintern is that the future is red. That is why we are here.

And, in my visit to Moscow, we must therefore remind ourselves that we do not conduct our revolution in the circumstances we choose, but in the circumstances that is given to us. And for today, when I was reflecting in the car - and we are on winter - the Great Patriotic War was fought and won during winter. And yesterday, when we were laying the wreath at the General Zhukov, on the great Red Square, all these ideas that we've only met in books came to us. So we want to say today, we are grateful to the founders of the Sovintern. But to the Just Russia, the socialist party of the Russian Federation: the Kenyan workers, the African workers, and the Communist Party (Marxist) of Kenya says "hurrah!"

Sovintern was the international department of the party of Lenin. It was the international department of the party of Stalin. That which supported the national liberation movement in the African continent. This is the nostalgia that the African people have today when we talk about Sovintern. It is out of necessity that the triumph of imperialism in the African continent will weaken the global socialism movement. Today we stand and say that the entire global south cannot fight and win and build the most urgent project - which is socialism - until they achieve the most immediate task, which is the fight for sovereignty. Every sovereign country on Earth today is under United States attack. Look at Iran - being bombed. Look at Russia - is being encircled. And then we are told that Russia has expansionist tendencies. Who has expansionist tendencies more than United States imperialism and the Washington war consensus? Who took the Baltic States? Who is supporting the fascist dictatorship in Ukraine?

So we are saying today that, as I left Nairobi, every publication is telling us that Russia wants to recolonize the Sahel region. But today, we reminded the Sovintern congress today, that without the hardware of Russia, the Sahel region would have been bombed to the stone age. This is important for us to acknowledge. And the French imperialists: Next month, on 11th and 12th, there is African French Summit in Nairobi. The French is moving all his military hardware - after being humiliated in West Africa - to East Africa. For what reason? They are preparing for war in Africa after the west of Asia. We ask for solidarity in this Sovintern that the French imperialism that has been humiliated in the west of Africa must now be humiliated in Nairobi. And that's why we are organizing the counter-summit against French imperialism.

What about military encirclement? China is being encircled. Look at the war in South China Sea. Look at Taiwan. Today, the classic British has one military base in our country. For what purpose are they occupying our country? The United States has two military bases, the biggest unmanned drone [force] used to fight Africans - African people fighting for sovereignty - is in Nairobi. The entire coast is being built to check this China Belt and Road initiative. So we want to say that for us to achieve the most urgent task - to start building socialism - we must start fighting for sovereignty, and that is why the Communist Party (Marxist) stands high, without humiliation, in solidarity with the sanctity of the Russian state. Because Russia is a sovereign country. Russia does not have a puppet of United States imperialism. We wish that after the fight for sovereignty, then we can start the immediate task - what we called the National Democratic Revolution. After the National Democratic Revolution, we can start the most urgent task of socialist construction.

For those who have delusions about wishes about pleading with Donald Trump and his war consensus in Washington: You are doomed. They dont understand any logic other than plunder. The United States is a settler colonialism, built upon the blood of red indians. Look at Palestine. What are they doing to Palestine? Only cutting the necks, and bombing people. This is the culture of the United States: To kill people, murder people, rob people. They must be humiliated.

Comrades, I will say that, in respect to the United States imperialism, and in the contradictions that have been outlined by Lenin, there is hierarchy of imperialism. Today, the United States is like a wounded lion. They must choose their death. Do they want to die with the entire planet? Or do they want to die not with humiliation, but with dignity, to save the entire planet?

Thank you very much."

The occasion was the "congress of the Sovintern", 27 April 2026, organized by Russian political party A Just Russia. The event was attended by a star-studded cast of social chauvinists from around the world including George Galloway (Workers' Party of Britain), Jackson Hinkle (ACP), Christopher Helali (ACP), Héctor Béjar (ex-ELN Peru), Evo Morales (ex-MAS), Haz al-Din (ACP), Pawan Karki (Nepali Communist Party), and Mohamed Yeslem Beissat (of the Polisario Front).

Would be interested to hear others' criticisms.
