There was a big event organized by a left wing party in Mexico and they invited plenty of parties in the world(primarily from Latin America).
It was so big that a lot of Europeans joined it including Serbian, French, Spain, Belarus and Moldovan. There were 3 parties from Russia: komros, KPRF and United Russia.
From Asia, we had Laotian, CPC and Vietnamese. (Edit 1 AND the DPRK’s PTC)
In the event, the Venezuelans even explained there socialist communal system and the transition that they are currently planning to make to phase out the outdated representative bourgeois democracy at the base of society. Pretty interesting.
You can check out some of the participants in the following list.
Also, Palestinian comrades joined the event!
Wow so
is pushing the socialism button?
Yes! There was an english speaking author that was following the process as well and also joined in the explanation during his presentation in the Seminar that I mentioned above. His name is Chris Gilbert and he has a couple of books in case you are interested to learn more.

Cool! Thanks!
Is there a recording or transcript of this? If possible translated in English?
Yes, there is a recording(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5upLhXC-kc) and the timestamps for the speech are the following:
8:44:50 - 9:14:38
However, sadly, I haven’t found any transcripts of the speech so my suggestion here will be to find a way to download an exctract of the video using the timestamps that I shared above. After downloading the excerpt, you will have to find a tool that will help you with the transcription.
Also, the author Chris Gilbert have some books in English if you are looking to learn more! -> https://chrisgilbert.site/books/

Why was United Russia there? Did I miss an about-face of theirs?
Russia is positioning themselves as a anti-imperial & multipolar. So it makes sense.
Well, PT invited every party(including socdem parties from Europe and Latin America) that accepted to have contact with them and also accepted the program presented in the seminar. United Russia, along with plenty of other european parties, accepted that program and even shared a speech with a lot of anti imperialist and solidarity leaning ideas.
