| Summary/Abstract |
IT SEEMS difficult to overestimate the importance of the work under review,* which has rightly been recommended as a textbook for students and trainees of the Diplomatic Academy. Its main merit is that it has overcome the key cognitive constraints of our political science - not only recent ones, but also those of the Soviet and earlier periods. In fact, the same can be said of the current Foreign Policy Concept of the Russian Federation, a truly innovative concept that meets the demands of the times and addresses the task of Russia's effective international positioning in a situation that bears all the hallmarks of a geopolitical revolution.

| Summary/Abstract |
THERE is no longer any doubt that the Western blitzkrieg in Ukraine has failed phenomenally. The seven-year rearmament of Ukraine, comparable to the appeasement policy toward Nazi Germany (in order to provide it with sufficient military resources for an attack on the USSR), combined with a sharp increase in sanctions-based pressure on Moscow (all its impact came from the initial sanctions packages) could not bring down the Russian economy in the first 18 to 24 months of the SMO [Special Military Operation]. Thus, they were unable to destabilize the domestic political situation in the country or create conditions for "regime change" and the subsequent dismemberment of the country as a form of the "final solution" to the Russian question. Inflicting a "battlefield defeat" on Russia last summer and autumn also proved impossible. Even though we employed a clearly small number of people, we were able to mount an effective defense by adopting a long-term, stable, and almost industrialized format.
