| Summary/Abstract |
ON JULY 27, 2013, it will be 60 years since the Armistice Agreement was signed in the village of Panmunjom, putting an end to the three-year Korean War. That war, which has become the bloodiest and most devastating military conflict since the end of World War II, remains an unhealed wound for the Koreans while its consequences are still making an impact on the international situation in Northeast Asia and beyond.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE SUMMIT of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC) in Vladivostok promises to be the biggest international event in Russia in 2012.
This is no surprise. Today, the center of international political and economic life is shifting towards the Asia-Pacific region. APEC, the region's main economic forum, includes the world's most powerful economies: USA, China, Japan, and almost half of G-20 member countries, which account for the greater part of global production, including high technologies. The USA assigns great importance to this region in its global forecasts. The Asia-Pacific superpower China is playing a growing geopolitical role.

| Summary/Abstract |
RUSSIA AND INDIA are in the top league of today's world politics; it is impossible without their participation to resolve either the most pressing regional or most important international problems. This was extremely clearly confirmed by the recent working visit by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to India. This visit drew a wide attention not only in both countries but a considerable response the world over.

| Summary/Abstract |
The world's main region of oil and gas extraction; the world's busiest trade route; the only year-round route between Russia's European part and its Far East; the home region of Afghanistan and Iraq, the seats of the largest armed conflicts, and of Iran, the target of Western attacks for over three decades - now the Indian Ocean and its littoral zone is an entanglement of numerous problems. Some of the local states cannot boast domestic stability while pirates have made the coastal waters of the Horn of Africa and the Strait of Malacca very dangerous.

| Summary/Abstract |
INDIA is invariably mentioned among new major international actors. This is logical. Populated by 1.38 billion people, India is the world's second-largest country in terms of population. Its economy grew by a factor of 3.3 between 2000 and 2017 and, with its gross domestic product accounting for 7.4% of global GDP in terms of purchasing power parity, became the world's third-largest economy in 2017 after the economies of the United States and China. India's armed forces are the world's fourth-most powerful military after those of the United States, Russia and China. India possesses nuclear weapons and runs a space program comparable to those of the European Union, China and Japan. India holds a key geostrategic position along with increasingly powerful China, the oil- and natural gas-producing Middle East, and Africa with its growing economies. India also controls key shipping routes in the Indian Ocean.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE YEAR 2017 has brought an aggravation of the North Korean nuclear problem. Donald Trump's assumption of office as U.S. president coincided in time with a new stage of the North Korean nuclear missile program. Kim Jong-il, the deceased father of current North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, apparently had assumed that the hypothetical possibility of retaliatory nuclear strikes against the United States and its allies was a sufficient guarantee of North Korea's security and so was quite satisfied with his country's relatively small nuclear deterrence arsenal - just about a dozen warheads - and didn't worry too much about means of their delivery. Kim Jong-un has gone further. He has ordered making more nuclear warheads and effective delivery means - intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). This essentially means that North Korea aspires to become a full-scale nuclear power with the potential to survive a nuclear attack and inflict unacceptable damage on its adversary, the United States.

| Summary/Abstract |
IN NORTHEAST ASIA, Russia's domestic and external interests are interconnected like in no other region. The guarantee of Russia's future as a great power lies in the economic, technological and social development of Siberia and the Far East. In regard to this vast region, the country's leadership has now set ambitious, far reaching goals whose accomplishment is to produce great results. There is no doubt that the stable development of Siberia and the Russian Far East with their natural and other resources will be comparable in its effects to the development of the West in the United States more than 100 years ago if it does not exceed them. It will, without a doubt, make an impact on all development processes both in the Asia Pacific region and outside.
The Legacy of the Cold War
THE RESOLUTION of domestic problems requires the absence of external threats. The main source of the military threat in Northeast Asia is the 60 year military confrontation on the Korean Peninsula. The Korean War started on June 25, 1950 between two Korean camps - the North, which strove to use the Soviet model for the country's unification, and the South, which committed itself to U.S. standards. In the context of the Cold War that local armed clash developed into a large scale military conflict which had almost put the world on the brink of a nuclear war. The great powers - the United States, Britain, the USSR, and China, as well as the UN, which started working on the Korean issue in 1947 and in 1950 actually became a party to the war - were directly or indirectly involved in the Korean War.

| Summary/Abstract |
SIXTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, on June 25, 1950, the first salvoes of the Korean War were fired - a war that lasted for over three years and has become one of the most bloody and devastating military conflicts of the latter half of the twentieth century. Its disastrous effects are still being felt today.

If Asia's experience is any guide, economic success is archived only by nations with strong governments, even if they curtail some rights.
Myanmar, formerly Burma, has been increasingly in the focus of international mass media in recent years. The sudden visit paid there in 2011 by Hillary Clinton, was followed in 2012 by that of Barak Obama.

ACCORDING to the ancient Greek writer and historian Xenophon, the development of history is cyclical. This idea is almost 2,500 years old. Is it applicable to the current situation in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar?

| Summary/Abstract |
CHAIRMANSHIP of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in 2012 and the APEC summit in Vladivostok have opened a new phase in the Asian policy of Russia. The point at issue is to cement the recognition by the international community of the weighty role of our country as a Eurasian power, not only in Euro-Atlantic but also in Asia-Pacific affairs.
Today, the significance of the AP region has increased dramatically - both for the world in general, and Russia in particular, which is logical. For it is there that the center of world economic and political life is shifting from the Euro-Atlantic area. There are located the most powerful economies of the world - American, Chinese, and Japanese. The geographical proximity of the burgeoning South Asian giant India is being increasingly felt in the affairs of the region.

| Summary/Abstract |
Myanmar is an important country in both regional and international terms, being the biggest continental state in Southeast Asia (678,000 sq. km as compared to, say, 547,000 of France) with a population of 60 million, which has a rather high literacy rate (over 90%). The country is rich in natural resources,1 and it is located at the intersection of geopolitical routes connecting South Asia and Eastern Asia. In the first years of its independence, Burma/Myanmar played an active role in international affairs. It is a Buddhist country, and its foreign policy was based on some Buddhist principles which stipulated that the country should only rely on its own potential, steer a middle course, and avoid the extremes. Myanmar was pursuing the policy of equidistance from all world blocs, promoting the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence (the Pancha Shila), which has served to enhance its global stature. It is no coincidence that in 1961, U Thant, a representative of Burma, became the United Nations' third Secretary-General.

| Summary/Abstract |
INTERETHNIC CLASHES are not a rarity for many Asian and African countries, and foreign media outlets do not sensationalize them. However, what has happened around the Rohingya community in Myanmar in recent months has largely broken with this pattern. TV screens and newspaper pages have been filled with reports of the purported genocide of the Rohingya perpetrated by the Myanmar authorities: thousands of dead Rohingya, hundreds of burned villages, and thousands of refugees fleeing to Bangladesh. Tough statements were made by leaders, public and religious figures in a number of Muslim states, and the issue was raised at the UN. On certain days, the Rohingya issue in the media was so off the scale that it almost completely eclipsed the situation around Korea, fraught with nuclear conflict.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE YEAR 2013 has to a very large extent become a year of Asia for Russia. The 2012 summit of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC) in Vladivostok was followed this year by Russian-Chinese and Russian-Indian summits in Moscow in March and October, 2013. Vladimir Putin's participation in the APEC summit in Bali, Indonesia, in September, his November visits to Hanoi and Seoul, Russian-Japanese negotiations in a "2+2" format (foreign and defense ministers), and a number of other top and high-level meetings, showing that the Asia Pacific region is gaining ground in Russia's policy.
