PAX TECUM
Award PAX TECUM «Peacemaker»
Peace throughout the world, the making of peace in the name of the continuation of life on the planet, creativity as an affirmation of universal human values and of the preservation of existing civilization. In present-day conditions these words have ceased to be merely beautiful slogans and have come to reflect people’s concern with questions of survival and with safeguarding humanity’s material, spiritual and socially significant achievements.
Wars, epidemics, hunger, poverty, ecological barbarism, the growth of aggressive manifestations of racial and national injustice — this is not a complete list of the challenges of our time facing people on every continent. Challenges that have no borders and that have only common solutions.
How can a reasonable person stand against these growing threats? What can reconcile people? What paths exist for uniting all the forces that strive for harmony and prosperity for the population of the Earth?
In V. I. Dahl’s Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language, the ancient tradition of reconciliation and the making of peace is defined by the word “mirit’” (to make peace). And those who bring reconciliation have in all ages been called peacemakers.

PAX TECUM «PEACEMAKER»
At the turn of the millennium it is clear that only the joint efforts of people from different countries can create a new system of relations in the world community — one that leads humanity toward creation and progress.
Recent history should be filled not with devastating wars, but with achievements in the field of peacemaking.
Peace can be defended not only with arms in hand. Every person is able to achieve personal and professional success, and also to create, helping to form public consciousness on the basis of enduring human values — humanism, tolerance and mercy. Such people are true peacemakers, worthy of international recognition and awards.
