My favorite experience in a RhodesMRC conference was in 2018. I was representing Russian Federation in OSCE with a topic on eastern Ukraine and Donbass, an area of dispute between Russia and Ukraine. The funny thing was to have approximately 50 delegates against me and my policy, criticizing my policy and actions. The positive thing though was the fact that I received a lots of donuts by the delegates of the committee, even if my pretended arrogance and somnolence against the criticism and exhortations of their countries. Unfortunately, I did not manage to avoid receiving Future Dictator Award.
