Demonstrative Restraint as a Recipe against Unnecessary Decisions
We should not deprive our foreign “partners” of the privilege to make all the mistakes for which they are trying to program us through sophisticated and multifaceted moral and psychological operations (including through the English-language media space they control) designed to undermine our restraint and self-possession.

National Fencing Doctrine
The era of “Grand Alliances” seems to have come to an end. The great powers (Russia certainly being one of them) are revisiting their commitments to client states and “junior partners” in real-time mode, focusing on internal processes and obligations to their citi-zens.

Italy-China Cooperation: A Matter of Concern in the US and the EU?
In the eyes of Brussels, the main problem surrounding China’s signing of a memorandum of understanding with Italy, a founding member of the EU, is that it might jeopardise Europe’s attempt to create a united negotiating front vis-?-vis Beijing.

“Long Peace” and Nuclear Weapons
It is not nuclear weapons that help maintain stability; rather, a gradual decay of the “long peace” will raise the need for the transformation of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons already act not so much as a guarantee against war as a guarantee that your enemy will not use them against you?like chemical weapons in World War II.

Worse Than During the Cold War
Neither Ukraine nor Syria has eased psychological tension so far. The United States and partly Russia do not think they have reached the dangerous point. Apparently they still need a bigger crisis to finally settle their issues.

The End of the “Paper Oil” Era
The structure of economic ties that took shape in the past decades has serious inherent inconsistencies. The widespread conviction that the expanding global economy is stable by virtue of its scale and diversification of the participants’ interests is creaking at the seams. Many macroeconomic indicators have become unpredictable, aggravating the risks of projects with long payoff periods.

Are the Energy Majors in Decline?
The Shtokman project may be a forerunner of critical changes in the global energy sector. The older-generation majors are heading for very tough competition. The governments of the resource-rich countries, and national companies enjoying governmental support are interested in reducing the role of transnational corporations to that of ordinary contractors.

Russian Hydrocarbons and World Markets
Russia’s standing in the world is in great part contingent on its rich mineral resources. Successful participation in the international division of labor presupposes effective use of this advantage, although it should not be confined to this.

Russia’s Soft Power Potential
It goes without saying that the “game” being played in the post-Soviet space remains a priority for the Russian Federation in building up its international influence and foreign policy strategy in general. Creation of Russian soft power resources through consolidation and organization of the Russian diasporas is an indispensable condition for effective work on this foreign-policy track.

Values and Mobilization: Towards the Dynamics of “Sterile Excitement”
Law does not require the impossible from a person, and a person does not expect tricks from the legal system. Values have their own logic, which is not always clear to a person who has decided to speak out for all the good and against all the bad. Both law and values mobilize a person, but they do it differently.

How to Rescue the Partnership?
It is difficult to call Russia and the EU strategic partners. However, due to the many interdependencies, the EU and Russia have considerable potential for fruitful cooperation on all levels of their relationship. If both sides make use of this potential, there is a realistic chance that a substantial strategic partnership might develop in the future.

Democracy by Remote Control
Elections in the CIS countries are turning from an instrument of the people’s will into a convenient pretext for outside multilateral interference. This new environment is aimed at creating international legal conditions for changing a regime by challenging election results, claiming as illegitimate the existing constitutional procedures and provoking an acute political crisis.

Russian in Place of Foreign
If the sanctions against Russia persist for a long time, the Russian defense industry may again seek full autarky (with the exception of cooperation with companies of Israel, China, South Korea, and some other countries), which would have a negative impact on its innovative potential in the long term.

The New Liberalism: A Scenario with Variations
A liberal scenario is fairly realistic, yet it is not the one that will help Russia resolve its main task of the day – the transition to democracy. Transition is a huge task for society. The president’s liberal aspirations and steps can facilitate the resolution of this task in the future, but can do nothing more than that.

The Fork in the Road in 2008
Putin’s decision marks a step toward the modernization of Russian mentality that was fashioned by centuries of tsarist autocracy, which suggested that “once a Tsar, always a Tsar.” Second, it implies divesting supreme power of the sacral and personified properties. Third, it sets a precedent whereby a ruler submits himself to “a piece of paper” – the Constitution.

A New Chance for a Hopeless Cause
The post-Soviet system has acquired its finishing touches now and it replicates the Soviet one in minute details. We have come to the point where distinguished textile workers praise Putin at “history-making” congresses of the party. But a return to the past means a rebirth of intellectual dissent as an element immanent for the past. If “distinguished textile workers” are back in place, then we cannot but get new “renegades” and “neo-dissidents.”

Towards a Third Nuclear Age: Disruptive Technologies, the Withering of Restraint, and the Return of Great Power Politics
Three quarters of a century after the first atomic device was exploded in the New Mexico desert, and three decades after the end of the Cold War, there appears to be a recognition in both academic literature and policymaking circles that a “new nuclear era” could be upon us.

Why We Must Prohibit Cyberattacks on Nuclear Systems: the Case for Pre-Emptive US–Russia Arms Control
Almost 35 years ago, US President Ronald Reagan settled down in the White House to watch the latest Hollywood blockbuster WarGames as part of his regular Sunday film night. The film, starring a young Matthew Broderick, depicted a teenage computer hacker accidentally breaking into top-secret Pentagon supercomputers that controlled US nuclear weapons.
