Russia Mentions of BRICS over Time
After the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, BRICS featured significantly more prominently in the speeches of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. By 2024, roughly 30 percent of his speeches and public appearances featured references to BRICS, potentially reflecting Russia’s priority of promoting alternatives to Western-led institutions and aligning itself with other emerging powers representative of the “global majority” in an emerging multipolar international system.
