| Summary/Abstract |
THE demands formulated by the Soviet government at talks with Great Britain and France on May 14, 1939, are still controversial. On that day, Moscow invited London and Paris to guarantee the neutrality and sovereignty of three Baltic republics (Latvia, Estonia, and Finland) that bordered the Soviet Union in case of German aggression.1 This issue roused acute disagreements at trilateral political negotiations that lasted until early August 1939. The draft trilateral agreement did contain the provision of trilateral guarantees against direct aggression, yet the issue of opposition to indirect aggression was excluded from the final text on account of Britain's position. The political agreement was never signed, while on August 12, the military missions of the three countries opened discussions of possible interaction in case of German aggression.

DURING the Ukraine conflict, one thing has become very clear: Russia's enemies are barbarically destroying what others have created, as if to avenge their own worthlessness and weakness. It is just like the old Chinese proverb: "The weak take revenge, the strong forgive...." Russia's enemies are destroying vital assets, dooming devastated areas to environmental disaster. The blowing up of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, the Togliatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline, the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant - They are unable to deal with the Russian Army and are retaliating against the civilians of Europe, Ukraine, and Russia in their powerless rage. This hysterical behavior is psychologically abnormal. Not even the Nazis during World War II thought to blow up the Dnepr Hydropower Plant; and yet, the Kiev authorities are destroying critical infrastructure on their own territory like real occupiers.

AS I was writing this material, CNN reported: "The United Kingdom has delivered multiple 'Storm Shadow' cruise missiles to Ukraine, giving the nation anew long-range strike capability."1 This is additional proof of how the "perfidious Albion" has been harming Russia for centuries.

GERMAN philosopher Friedrich Hegel is credited with the well-known idea that history repeats itself twice: first as tragedy, then as farce.
Sometimes a farce does not turn into the harmless theatrical effects of Molière's comedies but can be tragic and bloody, as demonstrated by the policy of the Kiev regime in Ukraine that has revived the criminal ideology, practices, and symbols of Nazism.

WHETHER the Anglo-Saxons and the collective West that surrendered to them without a murmur would impose their diktat on the rest of the world and, having destroyed Russia, teach a lesson to countries that pursue their own nationally oriented foreign policy has become an existential question during the special Military Operation (SMO). The position of India, one of the biggest countries on our planet, confirms that this Anglo-Saxon undertaking is doomed to failure.

THE policy of détente, the Helsinki process as its continuation, and Gorbachev's new political thinking are landmark processes of the 20th century. Anatoly Gavrilovich Kovalev not only had a hand in these developments but to some extent spearheaded and promoted them. Having chosen the path of diplomatic service, he worked his way up the career ladder from assistant to first deputy foreign minister of the USSR/Russia, and after scaling the heights of the Foreign Ministry, he reached the expanse of big politics. There was a period in his life and in the life of the country, albeit not a long one, when A.G. Kovalev, in tandem with the ideologists of perestroika, was working on creating a new foreign policy philosophy of the country.

THE Baptism of Rus' under Prince Vladimir marks the birth of the Russian Church. It was headed by the metropolitans, who were appointed by Constantinople and then sent to Rus' to preside over the Kiev diocese. There are only two known cases - in the 11th and 12th centuries - when Russian metropolitans were appointed directly in Kiev. After the Mongol-Tatar invasion, the first metropolitan was Russian, and he was consecrated in Nicaea, since Constantinople at that time was under the rule of the Crusaders as the capital of the Latin Empire. After him, St. Maximos, a Greek, became the metropolitan. Subsequently, we see alternating Russian and Greek metropolitans

THE concept of nation-building has always been a focus of attention, but it attracted the particular interest of researchers in the 20th century amid the development of Third World countries and the desire of new states to expand their powers within a certain territory. This issue was particularly acute in the area of decolonization, but after the US withdrew from Indochina and this process came to an end, the debate on "nation-building" lost its appeal both in international relations and in academia.

POVERTY has been and remains a key global problem, including for the states of Central Asia (CA). For the world's economies, this phenomenon is often associated with systemic problems in various fields - from the need for political modernization to the real sector of the economy. It is fair to say that the systemic nature of poverty causes a number of problems: low education levels, forced migration due to unemployment, etc. At the same time, Central Asia's integration into global economic chains remains weak.

RUSSIA'S higher education sector faces significant and difficult challenges given current developments in international relations and systemic transformations in the global economy. In what are often transborder processes, technology moves ahead very fast, accelerating industrial modernization. All this is subjected to philosophical analysis and produces quick legal reactions, especially in terms of intellectual property rights and other aspects of international and national law.

WRITING about your father is not easy. A son's love inevitably implies a subjective approach - you strive to see only the positive, closing your eyes to flaws that can be found in everyone, especially in extraordinary personalities such as my father. He was a brilliant and talented statesman, a prominent public and political figure, an exceptional writer, and a skilled diplomat - a remarkably well-rounded individual. His life was marked by a constant struggle against injustice and evil, and involved many ups and downs.

ONCE upon a time, in a disadvantaged province of a great empire, Pontius Pilate asked someone he thought was a little man from the deep people: "What is truth?" The source provides no response.1 Since then, the prefect's fate has been lost to history, and the eternal Rome enjoyed a mere 450-year moment in history. But the question, glorified, like the questioner himself, by the One Who Did Not Answer, has remained, making its way from theology into every field of scientific knowledge with the unbreakable tenacity of the Roman legions.

AMID the crisis of the international order, there is a tendency for the properties of digital diplomacy (DD) to change. Warning messages, instead of mere statements and reports, appear in the information field with increasing frequency. This is especially clearly manifested in connection with the Ukraine conflict in the absence of dialogue (Russia-US, Russia-Ukraine, Russia-West) and diplomatic relations (Ukraine-Russia). DD is increasingly playing a proactive rather than reactive role, taking the place of, for example, negotiating platforms.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE confrontation in opinion journalism today between Russia and countries of the collective West is commonly called hybrid warfare - in particular, on the grounds that provocations, the falsification of facts, and the heightening of tensions are taking place in the disparate realms of politics, economics, and culture. At the forefront of the struggle is the information space, which promptly and sometimes sharply reacts to any fluctuations in the political situation, focusing attention on a certain problematic issue. One such topic that has become a significant label for current political events is genocide.

Armen Oganesyan, Editor-in-Chief, International Affairs: In a speech made in Finland a while back, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken denied that the US is an enemy of Russia. He said that for more than 30 years, Washington "worked to pursue stable and cooperative relations with Moscow, because we believed that a peaceful, secure, and prosperous Russia is in America's interests.... We do not seek the overthrow of the Russian government and we never have. Russia's future is for Russians to decide." Washington has said, meanwhile, that the US is willing to start a dialogue with Russia on nuclear arms control without preconditions. Can this be taken seriously?

IT IS well known that sports are an important unifying factor regardless of personality traits, background, or age. In recent decades, there has been a surge in the number of people involved in sports, due to the development of its amateur and professional segments, promotion through media channels, and development of the training base. Along with promoting a healthy lifestyle, sports play an important social function, fostering communication and the development of contacts. With the intensification of modern migration processes, physical culture and sports activities serve as important channels of the adaptation of new arrivals in the host society.
