The event took place in Moscow from December 3rd to 4th. Residents of the Insight People production center (part of Gazprom-Media Holding) Alexander Zarubin (Stone) and Valeria Tkacheva took part in the conference.

The bloggers spoke at the session "Countering the Radicalization of the Population and Attempts to Involve It in Extremist and Terrorist Activity." They shared their experiences in creating educational content and shaping the right meanings, ideas, and values for young people.

"We, opinion leaders, are in a unique position to influence the younger generation and show them what kind of world they can create. This world must be one of kindness and mutual understanding. We must understand our responsibility, because our influence is not just about popularity but also the opportunity to change people's lives for the better."

Alexander Zarubin (Stone) TV presenter, actor, athlete and multiple Russian and world champion in mixed martial arts

Valeria Tkacheva, journalist, political commentator, expert for the People's Front movement, and founder of the anti-cyberbullying project "I AM WITH YOU," noted that it is in the family that the foundations are laid that later influence how children perceive the world.

"We pass on our values, and it's up to us to determine what kind of people our children will grow up to be. In the face of modern threats, such as youth radicalization, our task is to pass on these values with renewed vigor and attention."

Valeria Tkacheva, journalist, political observer, expert for the People's Front movement, founder of the anti-cyberbullying project "I AM WITH YOU"

The event focused on contemporary challenges: cyberterrorism, online radicalization, and countering extremist ideology. Particular attention was paid to the role of the digital environment in these processes. Social media is increasingly becoming a source of risk, as the destructive content disseminated on them can draw the younger generation into illegal activities. Participants discussed the need for preventative measures in schools and universities to ensure information hygiene and the importance of targeting the "right" opinion leaders.

Gazprom-Media Holding places great emphasis on fostering a safe digital environment: it organizes and supports initiatives to improve cyberliteracy and is a founding member of the Alliance for the Protection of Children in the Digital Environment.

The BRICS Anti-Terrorism Conference 2025 was held under the auspices of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The forum brought together over 100 representatives of relevant authorities, academics, and socio-political circles from BRICS member countries and partners.

December 8, 2025 Antonina Priezzheva: Partnership with the media is the path to transforming attitudes toward inclusion in society

Inclusion in the media influences public awareness and reduces the sense of isolation of people with disabilities, according to Antonina Priezzheva, HR Director at Gazprom-Media Holding. She spoke at an international forum.

"The absence of people with disabilities in the media, or their stigmatization, creates a distorted picture of the world and reinforces social barriers. And here, our inclusive content and diverse approach to its creation help build this bridge of trust. Media shapes reality, and inclusive media is media that truthfully reflects the full diversity of society."

Antonina Priezzheva, HR Director, Gazprom-Media Holding

According to her, for inclusive content it is important:

Feature people with disabilities in various roles: as newscasters, experts, presenters, and actors. Personalize stories and explore issues through the personal experiences of individuals. Involve people with disabilities at all stages—from idea development to testing the finished product.

It became the first television technical center in 46 years to be built in Russia and to operate primarily with domestic equipment."
