Articles

Records of a Heart in Pain

Last year’s events undid what was before in all respects: political, economic, humanitarian, and military. Everything will now be built differently, because there is really no way back.

Fyodor A. Lukyanov

An Old Chronicle of Current Events

For thirty years, staunch supporters of the confrontational approach worked to strengthen the image of the Other as an enemy to be faced sooner or later on the battlefield. Now the advocates of this point of view are triumphant as they see the current events as proof that they were right from the very beginning.

Alexei I. Miller

Ethnic Composition of Kiev Population in Early 20th Century: A Snapshot of Actualized History

“In a word, Kiev is a Russian city and, in particular, a city of Russian culture,” Sergey Hrushevsky concluded. “And as long as this city, the heart of Little Russia, is Russian, then the whole region... will always maintain a living affection and love for the great Russian culture.”

Anton A. Chemakin

“The Fate of Mankind Is Again Closely Intertwined with the Fate of Russia”

Turbulent events on the world stage are leading to inevitable changes, but what kind of changes? Can we understand what the world situation will look like when the current crisis ends? We have asked leading intellectuals from countries outside the Western community to share their thoughts.

The Distributed World

Nobody has any doubts that what is happening now in Ukraine is not simply a regional conflict but a test for the current international hierarchy. Predictions of the outcome would be woefully premature in any case, but one can try to imagine which principles may form the foundation of a future system of global co-existence and which will be relegated to the past.

Crisis of the International System and International Politics

The fossilized structures of the Cold War reproduce themselves in new forms, prompting conflict and global polarization. The political West is now challenged by the steadily constituting political East, a process that may restore balance in international politics.

The Grand Split

The relations of the so-called Rest with the collective West changed in time, moving from competition to confrontation to an open conflict that effectively breaks the current international arrangements. In short, this is a Grand Split.

Piotr Dutkiewicz

Food/Energy Security and Global Markets

Current geopolitical divisions are causing global markets to stop functioning normally. Markets themselves have become fragmented, supply chains are more unsafe, and incentives to invest in and expand production have weakened.

Marcel R. Salikhov

Liberal International Order: Can It Be Saved in Today’s Non-Hegemonic World?

This article is an attempt to make a humble contribution to the debate on the Liberal International Order from the perspective of an “autocratic” state―Belarus, as it has been assigned to this category by the West and as the author of this article happens to be Belarusian Foreign Minister.

Vladimir V. Makei

European Security Crisis and U.S. Hegemony: Reversing the Decline?

We are witnessing the decline of the world order, at the origins of which was the United States, but no one can guarantee that the next world order will not be American again.

Alexander D. Nesmashnyi

Sino-U.S. Rivalry in the Asia-Pacific: Declarations and Actual Policies

The confrontation between China and the United States in the Asia-Pacific, primarily in countries neighboring China, will intensify in the coming years. To achieve its goals, the United States exploits the fears of China’s numerous neighbors about the growth of Chinese power, which, from the U.S.’s point of view, could in the new conditions lead China to try to restore its traditional medieval system of dominance over neighbors.

Alexander V. Lukin

Russian Grand Strategy: Why It Stalls in Relations with India

Russia will need to demonstrate clearly where New Delhi fits into the Russian grand strategy towards the East and how Moscow aims to implement its grand strategy towards the broader Asia-Pacific.

Nivedita Kapoor

Inversion of U.S. Strategy

In 2020, about a year before the “escape from Kabul” drama began to unfold, the academic collection of essays entitled On Strategy: A Primer hit the shelves in the United States. Chief editor of this book Nathan Finney well represents the modern cohort of U.S. staff officers boasting a remarkable combination of professional military training and fundamental university education.
