Experts interviewed by Vestnik Kavkaza disagreed on today's proposal by Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov to review Russia's participation in various international organizations. The Minister stressed that the government should leave the "most important in terms of the political and economic component of the foreign policy organizations."The director of the Center for Political Information, Alexei Mukhin, drew attention to the possible restriction of Russia's presence in the international community after withdrawal from some international organizations. "Yes, some sites are used directly against Russia, for example, recently it happens with the ECHR. But technical disaffiliation with them is likely to contribute to the isolation of Russia," the expert said.The chairman of the National Foreign Exchange organization, Dmitry Piskulov, suggested that the Minister, firstly, was talking about the pro-American structures. "Indeed, we don't have an elastic budget," he said. According to the expert, the money saved can be used for the development of the BRICS.The head of the Center for Strategic Development of the CIS Countries under the RAS Institute of Europe, Alexander Gusev, contrary to Mukhin, called for the construction of our own sites. "The pressure exerted on us from the West applies to all possible spheres of activity - economic, monetary, financial, and so on. Therefore, you need to build your own sites. In the first place, I think, Russia could withdraw from the WTO. The World Trade Organization should be on a guard policy of equality, but it has closed its eyes to the unprecedented pressure on Russia," Gusev said.For similar reasons, the expert said, it is necessary to leave the IMF. "As for the World Bank or the EBRD, I think we should not talk about how to get out from everywhere at once, we should start with the WTO and the IMF, and then attempt to create our own structures," he said.
