| Summary/Abstract |
IF an enlightened Russian reader five years ago had the opportunity to peruse today's news in Russian or foreign media, they would likely find it challenging to believe what they read and might suspect deception. This is understandable. Five years ago, some of the things happening today would have seemed unimaginable (except to those few people who, even then, could foresee the scenarios planned earlier and unfolding today; Vladimir Zhirinovsky shared some interesting ideas regarding future events, conflicts, and the civilizational struggle).
