Summary/Abstract |
The impact of the Ukrainian crisis on the structure of international relations as well as accelerated Russia's turn toward Asia as one of its widely discussed consequences can be hardly overestimated. Reorientation, very much within the concept of the multipolar world, began long before the crisis: Russia was seeking wider cooperation with the APR countries as the future center of world politics and economy; wider investments and high technologies of the most developed countries to whip up the economies of Russia's Asian regions and diversify political and economic cooperation so that to reduce its dependence on the West. Before the clashes in Ukraine, the leading Russian politicians were unanimous in their conviction that closer cooperation with Asia would complement rather than weaken Russia's partner relationships with the U.S. and the EU. Amid the Ukrainian developments the West is cutting down its cooperation with Moscow to force it retreat from its positions; this has woken up the Russian elite to a simple thought that there is no alternative to intensified cooperation with Asia.

Summary/Abstract |
THE MEETING OF THE SHANGHAI Cooperation Organization (SCO) heads of state, which took place in Yekaterinburg in June 2009 and where Russia handed over the SCO's rotating presidency to Uzbekistan, clearly showed both the achievements and the problems that this organization encountered over the past year. The main achievements are primarily linked to security cooperation between the member states. A meeting of SCO defense ministers in April 2009 approved a plan of cooperation between the defense ministries of the SCO member states for 2010-11, which envisages a number of multilateral and bilateral exercises - mainly antiterrorism exercises. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies also actively cooperate, their activities being coordinated by the Regional Anti-Terrorism Structure (RATS) headquartered in Tashkent.

Summary/Abstract |
IN JANUARY 2012, Russian President V.V. Putin repeated the famous remark by Chancellor of the Russian Empire A.M. Gorchakov (1856-1882) in the title of his pre-election article, "Russia Is Concentrating: The Challenges We Must Address." Noting the difficult situation the country has found itself in as a result of "the deep recession that followed the collapse of the totalitarian model of socialism and the disintegration of the Soviet Union," as well as in connection with the crisis related developments in the world economy, the author observed: "Russia is not a country that shies away from challenges. Russia is concentrating, mustering its strength and responding to any challenges in a fitting manner. It overcomes trials and always wins... It only depends on us how we respond to the present challenges and how we use our chance to strengthen ourselves and our position in the fast changing world."
