Sergueï Karaganov Leads Russian Plan To Reframe The “Majorité mondiale” Against The West

A 2023 text presented by Le Grand Continent frames Russia’s post-2022 reorientation toward the “Sud Global” and then toward the “Majorité mondiale,” describing it as a way to “renvoyer l’Occident à son statut de minorité démographique et culturelle sur la planète.”

The article says the document was written by “un collectif d’experts russes en 2023” and “dirigé par Sergueï Karaganov,” described as “l’un des architectes intellectuels de la politique étrangère russe” and director of the Council of policy and defense representing the “faucons.”

Le Grand Continent adds that the text proposes “un travail de réflexion et d’action sophistiqué” to implement what Moscow calls the “Majorité mondiale,” including a strategy of “conquête « des cœurs et des esprits ».”

It also describes a split in Russian foreign policy after the “début de l’opération militaire spéciale (ci-après, « la SVO ») en Ukraine,” contrasting a coalition “dirigée par les États-Unis” with “plus d’une centaine de pays” that adopted a neutral or Moscow-favorable stance.

The same source says Russia was condemned at the UN General Assembly by “plus de 140 pays,” with “seulement 5 contre et 35 s’abstenant,” while it argues sanctions were voted only by the “Nord” geopolitique.

Radio-Canada reports that Donald Trump argues the threat of Russian ships and submarines is “réelle et immédiate,” linking it to his support for taking control of the Danish autonomous territory of Greenland.

Marc Lanteigne, professor at the University of Tromsø in Norway and associated professor at the University of Greenland in Nuuk, says the idea of Chinese military presence off Greenland is “la fiction,” adding that “Il n’y a ni navires chinois ni navires russes dans la région.”

Radio-Canada says China has shown growing interest in the Arctic, describing that it has called itself a “État quasi-arctique” since 2018 and that its northernmost point is “à près de 1500 kilomètres du cercle arctique.”

The piece notes that in 2025 “seulement 14 navires chinois” used the route along Russia’s coast, “principalement pour transporter du gaz russe,” while it says China’s real progress is along Russian Arctic coasts.

It also quotes Lanteigne warning that the real challenge is “les zones grises comme la collecte de données civiles à potentiel militaire et aussi la bataille des perceptions.”

La Libre.be describes a planned August 21 cruise on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard aboard the Commandant Charcot, pitched as a “billionaire’s fairytale” with discussions to be conducted only in Russian among oligarchs and Putin-compatible influencers.

The article says the cruise collapsed “face à la tenacité de Svalbard’s residents,” and it identifies passengers including Sergei Shnurov of the band Leningrad and television host Ksenia Borodina, alongside vodka magnate Nikolai Vasilenko and billionaire Alexei Frolov.

It reports that the French luxury cruise line Compagnie du Ponant was hired for the Arctic foray, and that the Commandant Charcot’s most modest cabin was listed at “plus de 60,000 euros” on Neverend’s site while a similar itinerary is usually billed at “37,000 euros” by Ponant.

La Libre.be says the agency Neverend stated the fare included an “Istanbul–Svalbard charter flight,” but a Longyearbyen tourism resident said the flight was canceled after locals refused to host the crew, leading some hotels to cancel bookings made in the name of Ponant.

The piece quotes researcher Arild Moe of Norway’s Fridtjof Nansen Institute saying, “Vous n’avez qu’à regarder une carte pour comprendre leur intérêt,” linking Russia’s Arctic interest to Svalbard as a control point of the Barents Sea and the exit route for a fleet based on the Kola Peninsula.
