| Summary/Abstract |
The recent long-awaited change in government in Georgia has sparked a debate among political observers about how the October 2012 election will affect Russian-Georgian relations. The negative impact will be negligible because bilateral relations cannot get any worse than they already are. We can look towards the future with a small degree of cautious optimism. After all, a dream - whether in Georgia or somewhere else - is only a dream, not a plan of action. There are promises and expectations in both Russia and Georgia, and Georgians want change. However, the reality may be a far cry from promises and expectations.

| Summary/Abstract |
When Russia stands firm in upholding its interests, or shows evidence of its independence in conduct and thinking, it is treated in the West as a signal for ideological attacks. Conflict of values is a matter of propaganda, rather than ideological, civilizational or psychological realities

| Summary/Abstract |
The 21st century is marked by an increased attention to the appeal and positive image of a country as instruments of influence in the international arena. There has appeared the concept of soft power, whose author, U.S. political scientist Joseph Nye described it as "the ability to get what you want through attraction rather than coercion or payments." A nation's image secures attractiveness and trust in a country, playing a crucial role as the key soft power component. Therefore, the efforts of states along this line relate not so much to the sphere of culture and information as to geopolitics.

| Summary/Abstract |
The possibility (advisability, feasibility, desirability, etc.) of Russia joining NATO has been the subject of widespread discussion among Western politicians and scholars in the last 18 months, however, this issue is no longer on the agenda today. The discussion was purely speculative from the very beginning: it did not imply any practical conclusions or the drafting of a "road map," although the tone of some statements created the impression that Moscow had already applied for NATO membership and was patiently waiting for a decision.
