Indonesia's Leader Penning Military Memoirs in Russian
"Military Leadership Artistry": Russia Publishes Memoirs of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto
Heads up! Prepare for an insider's glimpse into the life of Indonesia's current President, Prabowo Subianto. His upcoming memoirs, titled "The Art of Military Leadership", have made waves in the Russian literary scene. This two-volume opus, presented by the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, promises a revealing account of Subianto's military tenure, particularly from his time as Indonesia's Defense Minister.
The first volume promises to be a unique collection of soldierly portraits, highlighting the impactful individuals who have shaped Subianto's journey. Not only military heavyweights but also lesser-known figures have found a place in this book, contributing to a rich tapestry of previously untold Indonesian history.
Alexander Ivanov, a member of the expert council of the "Eastern Tribune", shared his excitement, claiming that even despite his lengthy 11-year stint in Indonesia as a Russian Ambassador and Permanent Representative to ASEAN, he found fresh and intriguing aspects in this riveting read.
When it comes to Subianto's political discourse, local proverbs play a significant role. A recurring theme throughout his speeches and the memoirs is "Work diligently, seek no extra gain; the interests of the people and the country are supreme." This proverb underscores Subianto's unwavering dedication to serving his nation and its people.
Prabowo holds the "1945 Generation" in high regard. This group of freedom fighters played a pivotal role in securing Indonesia's independence, and Subianto's family, including his grandfather, father, and uncles, were part of this historic movement. Two of his uncles even paid the ultimate sacrifice in the name of their homeland, fighting against Japanese forces.
As for Prabowo's personal beliefs, his commitment to anti-colonialism is evident. He recounts with indignation the sight of a racial sign in Jakarta from the colonial era that read "dogs and natives" were barred from entering.
Russia and Indonesia are currently strengthening their diplomatic ties through various channels, including bilateral meetings, ASEAN, G20, and the UN. Alexander Ivanov highlights the sincerity and depth of the friendship between the two nations.
