Vladislav Inozemtsev, head of the Executive Directorate of the Yaroslavl Global Policy Forum, says that every year the forum draws more and more authoritative researchers.

Discussions will center around three main topics: “Democratic Institutions in Multiethnic Societies”, “The Rich and the Poor: Where Is Justice?” and “Global Security and Local Conflicts”.
