‘Spirit of Anchorage’ coined by journalists — Russian academician
A trademark application for “The Spirit of Anchorage” was filed in Russia, reportedly for perfume products, while a prominent academician dismissed the phrase as a journalistic invention rather than a serious diplomatic term.
A trademark application for the phrase “The Spirit of Anchorage” has been filed in Russia, according to the Russian state news agency TASS. The application, filed with the Russian intellectual property service Rospatent on July 10, 2026, seeks to register the phrase under Class 3 of the International Classification of Goods and Services, a category that covers perfumes, scented water, colognes, and wax melts. TASS reported this on July 19, noting that the intended use of the trademark appears to be for perfume products.

Coverage of this story comes from TASS’s English-language service, which reported the trademark filing in a straightforward, informative style. A separate TASS report focused on the origin of the phrase, quoting a senior Russian academician who dismissed the term as a creation of journalists rather than a serious diplomatic characterization.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has used the phrase “the spirit of Anchorage” in reference to the Alaska summit, describing the atmosphere of trust between Russian and US leaders, according to TASS.
Academician Alexander Dynkin, president of the Institute of the World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told TASS that the phrase “the spirit of Anchorage” was invented by journalists. He said, “The ‘Spirit of Anchorage’ is an invention of journalists. None of the serious people called this meeting in Alaska, the preliminary understanding of the two sides, that way.” He added, “We had the ‘spirit of Bandung,’ there were a lot of ‘spirits.’ This is not serious.”
Dynkin also commented that following the Alaska summit, US President Donald Trump’s political capital was spent on major domestic problems, emigration, and on attacks on Venezuela and Iran.
The Putin-Trump meeting took place last August in Anchorage, Alaska, according to TASS.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
