CRISIS

1. Fall of the Soviet Union

Hi delegates!

My name is Kaden Fei, a senior at Dulwich College Beijing. This year's DIMUN will be my 5th and final DIMUN. In my time with DIMUN, I've participated as a delegate, chaired, and organized the conference as a Deputy Secretary General and the Secretary General. It is safe to say I know what type of conference DIMUN is, and I will continue to make it an enjoyable experience now as the President of the Crisis Committee.

Beyond my experience with DIMUN, this will be my 5th time chairing Crisis, which I hope reassures newer delegates who have not yet participated in Crisis. As this is the first time DIMUN has introduced Crisis, I will ensure the experience is smooth and enjoyable for everyone participating in the committee.

To all delegates who will participate in this committee, I urge you to remember that Crisis is meant to be dynamic and is a great opportunity to showcase your ability to think on your feet and adapt.

See you all in February! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at kaden.fei27@stu.dulwich.org.

Hello, delegates! My name is Henri Labarre, and I’m a junior at Dulwich College Beijing. I’ve been involved in MUN since ninth grade and have participated in seven conferences over the past two years. I’m honoured to serve as Deputy President of the Crisis Committee for the seventeenth edition of DIMUN.

The dissolution of the Soviet Union was a defining moment in modern history, shaped by political uncertainty, economic challenges, and competing visions for the future. I’m excited to see how you navigate this turbulent period, respond to unexpected developments, and work together to shape the course of events.

Above all, I hope this committee gives you the opportunity to think strategically, challenge yourselves, and explore the consequences of your decisions. I look forward to seeing your curiosity, creativity, and collaboration throughout the conference.

See you at DIMUN!

Hello, delegates! My name is Malia, and I'm a junior at Dulwich College Beijing. I study IB Global Politics and History, and I'm thrilled to serve as Backroom Director for DIMUN's Crisis Committee this year. The dissolution of the Soviet Union marked a turning point in modern history, shaped by ideological tensions, economic stagnation, and political reforms. I'm excited to bring this complex and consequential period to life through dynamic crisis developments, and to see whether your decisions can make an already turbulent chapter of history even more unpredictable, while remaining strategically sound. As a first-time student officer, I hope to help create an engaging committee that encourages strategic thinking, adaptability, and collaboration.

Above all, I hope to make this a memorable crisis experience where you can challenge yourselves, explore creative solutions, and see the consequences of your decisions unfold. I look forward to working with you all.
