Instrumental Factors of Soft Power in an Era of Global Turbulence
Soft power is an instrument of dominance, competition, non-violent struggle, and consolidation of allies. The new anti-neocolonial agenda proposed by Russia as part of its discourse has a significant potential, but it has yet to be elaborated.

Sovereign Democracy: A New Russian Idea or a PR Project?
"Sovereign democracy" carries two simultaneous messages to Russian society. The first message says that we are a party wielding state power and a sovereign elite, and the sources of our legitimacy are found in Russia, not in the West, like it was during the ‘guided democracy’ of the Yeltsin era. Second, being a power-wielding force, we are the guarantors of Russia’s sovereignty and survival in the context of globalization and other external super-threats.

Neighborhood with Russia: Implications for Regional Differentiation of Public Opinion in Belarus
There were no consistent lines of regional differentiation in the public opinion in Belarus, with the exception of differences in residents’ perception of the center (the capital) and peripheral regions.

Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way
International experience has accumulated enough tools to resolve any territorial dispute. Success depends only on the competence of the negotiators and the political will of the leadership.

Different Realities
The new post-Crimean risk for Russia’s political system is not so much in putting political participation on freeze as in forcing this participation, which might push the country onto the road to ideology-driven authoritarianism.

The way along this track has long been determined and responsible politicians should embark upon it.

Arctic Square of Opportunities
The treaty concerning maritime delimitation in the Barents Sea and the Arctic Ocean, which Russia and Norway signed in September 2010, is regarded by the officialdom as a great diplomatic success. However, the document disregards a whole range of vital legal aspects, which may be detrimental to the operation of Russian state companies in the region, including possible weighty losses due to discrepancies in tax treatment.

Arctic Diplomacy
An analysis of the historical and legal aspects of the current sovereign jurisdiction of land surface areas that serve as points of departure in measuring the boundaries of exclusive economic zones and the continental shelf beyond them may have significance for the delimitation of maritime areas between Russia and its Arctic neighbors.

The Glass Menagerie of Non-Proliferation
There is no doubt that the international nuclear non-proliferation regime entered a new phase in May 2015. The situation has worsened, and it will be more and more difficult and expensive to correct it. The cooling of international relations will make the NPT situation extremely fragile.

Life After Death
Nunn-Lugar should be replaced with a new Russian-American program that should involve fewer projects and less funding. Let us call it New Partnership. Its main principle should be equality, rather than patronizing through money infusions from donors.

A Labyrinth with No Walls
Russia should step over its prejudices and take a look at today’s Iran as its serious and long-term partner in the region – not at the declarative level, but at the level of action. Such attempts have been made from time to time, but now and then they are interrupted – out of the wrong fear to anger the Americans.

The Choice and Challenge of Eurasian Integration
None of the integration projects in history has ever encountered so strong resistance from both East and West. Its intensity denies the publicly declared thesis that the project is artificial, immaterial and even doomed.

The Flipside of September 11, 2001
The reality that developed after September 11, 2001 and August 8, 2008 is such that the “catches” of self-defense, self-determination and peacekeeping in ambiguous UN documents can be used to justify war against sovereign states.

Dictatorship of Law: Interim Results
The years of the Putin presidency saw controversial processes in the law enforcement system. The team of the new president will have no other choice other than to step up attacks on corruption and organized crime. The authorities will have to fight with embezzlers and gangsters at an outpacing rate. Otherwise not a single national project or program will ever bring the expected benefits.

The Ukrainian Grain Deal after Russia’s Withdrawal: A Peace Bridge or a Gordian Knot in the Black Sea?
It's premature to assert that Turkey is making a profound shift toward the West at the expense of its balanced strategy. Present signals from the Kremlin suggest that Turkey's recent actions are noted but will not lead to a dramatic fracture in bilateral ties. However, gauging the repercussions of Turkey's ambition to mediate between Ukraine and Russia remains complex.

The 1945 Turkish-Soviet Crisis
That these were “proposals” and not “demands” was made explicit not only in the Molotov-Sarper talks, but by Stalin and other top-ranking Soviet officials at international conferences.
