| Summary/Abstract |
Traditional alignment theories, such as balance-of-power and balance-of-threat theories, suggest that states confronted by more powerful or threatening states are more likely to balance against those states than to bandwagon with them. Yet in the context of the newly independent states of the Commonwealth of Independent States (cis), this proposition has not held true. A refinement of Steven David's theory of omnibalancing sheds light on this empirical puzzle. Using in-depth case studies of Ukraine and Uzbekistan, the authors argue that the alignment calculations of cis leaders have been driven more by internal threats to those leaders' political survival than by external threats to the state. These internal threats include the more traditional variants, such as assassination attempts, coups, and civil war, but also include opposition leaders and parties that may be perceived as challenging a leader's political survival. The post-September 11 security environment and the u.s.-led war on terrorism has also fundamentally changed the strategic calculations of cis leaders, as the United States is now willing to assist leaders against Islamist extremism and terrorism, taking over a role formerly played by Russia. The theoretical nuances offered here provide a more robust and accurate understanding of alignment motivations in the cis, especially in light of recent revolutions in Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT and administration of the Russian Federation includes an effective range of instruments and competences, with each of its actors having its own important function. All this, as the experience of the 21st century makes evident, enables this system to efficiently tackle national and international threats and challenges to the world order.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE SPACE of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) remained a Russian foreign policy priority in 2009. These countries are our close neighbors and strategic partners with which we have common tasks of economic development and modernization, ensuring regional security and achieving a more just world order. Respective principles have been repeatedly confirmed at the highest possible political level, including in D. A. Medvedev's programmatic article, "Forward, Russia!" which was published in September 2009. The correctness of this line was confirmed by the overall development of international processes in 2009, characterized by the growing regionalization of global politics not least under the impact of a global financial and economic crisis and movement toward a polycentric international system.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) has, as of late, been rather a controversial topic. Some authors writing on the subject focus on the outstanding problems and disagreements in the CIS, making pessimistic forecasts, whereas others, quite the contrary, point to an emerging trend toward greater coordination and unification of efforts by the CIS member countries, especially amidst the ongoing global financial crisis. As a person who has to deal with CIS affairs directly and on a daily basis, I can say that the latter category of authors is significantly closer to the truth.
