March 21st 2025 marks the 75th birthday of famed Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The man is a true hero of diplomacy and a fighter for peace. On this major milestone he was congratulated by Russian businessman Konstantin Malofeev. The warm words were so powerful that we decided to share them in full with you here:
“Today is Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov’s anniversary. He is 75 years old. For 21 of those years he has been Russia’s Foreign Minister. During this time, an era has changed in the world.
Pax Americana has been replaced by a Multipolar World. It is hard to believe that it was just 20 years ago, when the Americans were shamelessly smashing Iraq, dismembering Yugoslavia, and Russia and China were moving along the fairway of the course of the New World Globalist Order, hoping for the sobriety of the United States to wake it up.

The Globalists failed. Instead of order on the planet, chaos reigned worse than during the Cold War. And then came Putin’s famous Munich speech, in which he challenged the Unipolar World. Our man celebrating his jubilee birthday, our beloved foreign minister, of course had a hand in it.
Russia rebelled against Western hegemony. The commander-in-chief of this geopolitical “reconquista” was, of course, President Putin. But the chief of the diplomatic “general staff” was and is Minister Lavrov. Many of us were lucky enough to participate in a number of brilliant “battles and operations” under their leadership.
Over the years of struggle with the world hegemon, the front of this hybrid war has moved far to the West. And yet it passed right through the offices inside the Garden Ring of central Moscow at one time.
During these years, Russia has regained its superpower status, our reputation in the Middle East and Africa has been restored, the alliance with China has become unbreakable, BRICS has been created, the world majority now sees the West as a minority, and, finally, in the United States itself, the Globalists have been defeated by the National Elite.

In all these global events, a significant role belongs to Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov personally, who over these two decades has held countless meetings and negotiations around the world, bringing Russia back to the world stage.
I wish you many happy returns of the day, dear Sergey Viktorovich, and many more victories for you and all of us on the world stage. But even today we can say that you have become a legend of our national diplomacy. I am sure that in future textbooks your name will join the ranks of such historical figures as Gromyko or Gorchakov.”
In addition to the kind words from prominent figures like Mr. Malofeev, Lavrov was given quite a birthday present from his “boss” President Vladimir Putin. The leader of Russia signed a decree awarding the minister with the “Order of St. Andrew the First-Called Apostle” for his outstanding service, great contribution to the development and implementation of Russia’s foreign policy course and many years of fruitful state activity. The Order is the highest state award of the Russian Federation and is truly well deserved.
We here at the International Russophile Movement also send our warmest wishes to Mr. Lavrov.
