Russia in Global Affairs

The confrontation between Russia and the West is intensifying but not changing in quality. Major changes have occurred in the part of the world that is not involved in the conflict but affected by it. The World Majority becomes increasingly convinced that the influence of those who have long dictated the rules in the international arena is declining.

The BRICS will move toward the alter-West rather than the anti-West. The BRICS space can be developed as a tool for diversifying the world and moving away from Western domination toward a far more multifaceted scenario. It will be further enhanced and strengthened in the process, albeit a long process.
