Russia in Global Affairs

As we transition from a dying world to a new one in its turbulent birth pangs – we find ourselves in a foggy interregnum that urgently needs more clarity for us to move on. Professor Sergei Karaganov discusses the developments in Russia and the world, especially with the nuclear threat growing evermore present, with Al Mayadeen.

In an electrifying debate hosted by Horizons, Ian Bremmer, president of the Eurasia Group, and Sergey Karaganov, a renowned Russian political strategist, confronted the pressing challenges facing the global order. Moderated by Vuk Jeremić, editor-in-chief of Horizons, the event explored the complexities of shifting power structures, the protracted conflict in Ukraine, and the role of nuclear deterrence in contemporary geopolitics.

We will continue to strike at the Ukrainian army, because it is basically a mercenary army, but our main goal is to sober up the West and make it retreat strategically. The best way to do that is to give the West, at least the Americans, a chance to retreat without losing face. Otherwise, they will have to flee in shame or/and suffer huge losses, Sergei Karaganov told Ukraina.ru.

Why is even speaking of negotiations with Ukraine dangerous for us? Who is better―Trump or Biden? Why is Europe worse than America? What are the real goals of the special military operation (SMO)? How can the use of nuclear weapons save the world from World War III? Sergei Karaganov speaks with Argumenty Nedeli Editor-in-Chief Andrei Uglanov on this and many other topics.

There will be no polycentric and sustainable future world order without nuclear multilateralism.

The world is on the verge or already past a series of disasters, if not a global catastrophe. The situation is extremely, possibly unprecedentedly, alarming, even more so than it ever was in the days of Alexander Blok, who forebode the 20th century.

Not so long ago, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said the European Union should be prepared for war by the end of the decade. Politicians in Berlin are talking about reintroducing mandatory military service and getting ready for confrontation with Moscow. Similar sentiments can be observed in Poland. But is it just because of the events in Ukraine? What is the reason for the dramatic increase in European conflict potential? Rossiyskaya Gazeta discusses it with Sergei Karaganov.

In mid-June, I published an article titled “Nuclear weapons use can save humanity from global catastrophe” in Profil magazine. It was posted in Russian and in English almost simultaneously on the Russia in Global Affairs journal’s website. It was widely reprinted around the world, sparking a tsunami of responses, objections, and debates, tens of thousands of reactions. There was also no shortage of words of support, either.

Sergei Karaganov, Academic Supervisor of the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs at the Higher School of Economics, told BUSINESS Online, whether nuclear war is possible, whether we will become a satellite of China, and why some in the Russian government are against designing a new ideology.
