“Academician Mikhaïl Titarenko, who died at the age of 81 after a lengthy illness, headed the Institute of Far Eastern Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IFES RAS) from 1985 until last year. Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche wrote in a message of condolence to the late academician’s colleagues, ‘If the world will be pulled back from the abyss and a new paradigm will bring about a new chapter in human history, it will be thanks to the strategic alliance between Russia and China, and Mikhail Titarenko has probably contributed more than anyone else for it to come into being. Titarenko was,’ Zepp-LaRouche continued, ‘the perfect example, of why the study and knowledge of other cultures is the basis for peace.'”
