| Summary/Abstract |
IN ANTIQUITY, all armies had listening sentries who put ears to the ground to discern the stamping of hooves of an approaching enemy; later, they were monitoring radio exchange or trying to catch the noise of approaching airplanes. Today, it looks like the fast changing world is missing such real pros. However, there is no shortage of fortune tellers, soothsayers and financial analysts who are no better than psychics and astrologists.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE "LIMINALITY" and "re-lslamization" phenomena1 caused by the split in the ranks of the Islamic theological elite into the moderate majority (minimalists) and radically minded minority (maximalists) [Waghid. 2011:5-8] came to the fore in some of the North African Arab countries and in many sub-Saharan countries with considerable Islamic populations. Radicalization of apart of the Islamic political elite betrays itself in a much greater political and military activity of Muslim maximalists and a much wider scope of activities of extremist Islamic organizations.

| Summary/Abstract |
NOVEMBER 28, 2020 was the 130th birthday of Karim Khakimov, a Soviet diplomat who has played a major and still underestimated role in enabling the USSR to gain a foothold in the Middle East. Khakimov developed methods and principles for our diplomats to follow in that restive region that remain useful today. In fact, it is only today, nearly a century after this extraordinary person was put in the forefront of Soviet foreign policy, that we are beginning to see the entire importance of his legacy.

| Summary/Abstract |
SEPTEMBER 17, 2010 marks 20 years of the reopening of the diplomatic missions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the Russian Federation (RF) on the ambassadorial level. People in today's Saudi Arabia still remember and value the fact that the Soviet Union was the first country to recognize in 1926 what was at then the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz. The foundations of business cooperation were laid in those distant times. It may sound odd today, but one of the key items of Soviet export to Saudi Arabia, before they had discovered major petroleum deposits there, was kerosene; and in the 1930s, Russian aviator Nikolai Naidenov and aircraft technician Maksimov were helping King Abdul Azis Ibn Saud with organizing the kingdom's air fleet. Regretfully, the tragic events in the 1930s in Soviet Russia dealt a crippling blow to Russian-Saudi relations. When the Soviet diplomats Nazir Tiuriakulov and Karim Khakimov were recalled from Saudi Arabia and subjected to political repression in 1937-1938, King Saud refused to receive any other Soviet plenipotentiary representative and, in 1938, diplomatic relations between the USSR and Saudi Arabia were frozen for many decades to come.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE FACT that since September 28, 2015, when President Putin delivered his historic speech at the UN General Assembly in New York, the situation in the Middle East has radically changed is self-evident and requires no additional arguments. This was accomplished by Russia that not merely called on the world to set up a united antiterrorist front but confirmed by its actions that it was prepared to fight "the cancer," i.e., ISIS, consistently and efficiently.
