Summary/Abstract |
The article surveys international cooperation efforts to dismantle decommissioned submarines of the Russian Pacific Fleet. Russia's difficult financial and economic situation and its inability to dismantle its multi-purpose nuclear submarines forced it to seek assistance from Japan, in which later also joined three other APR countries - Australia, South Korea, and New Zealand. Since cooperative efforts were first launched, foreign funds have been used to dismantle three nuclear submarines, build a radioactive waste processing plant, and a contract has been signed for dismantling two more nuclear submarines.

Summary/Abstract |
The well-known human needs graphically shown in Maslow's hierarchy of needs should probably be revised to add one more - knowledge of the future. This is necessitated by both existential factors (which make religion eternal) and practical ones (knowledge of the future helps to get prepared for it in advance or turn it to one's profit). The "new normal" has moved from purely theoretical discussions to political discourse at the top official level in Russia, reflecting not only the recognition of accelerating political and economic processes in the world, but also the understanding of their outcome in a span of twenty, thirty or even fifty years.

Summary/Abstract |
In the wake of the events in Crimea and southeastern Ukraine in the spring and summer of 2014, the United States, the European Union, Ukraine and some other countries imposed sanctions on Russia. Moscow responded with countermeasures. The term 'import substitution' began to be widely used in the Russian political vocabulary. This problem was particularly acute in the military-industrial sphere, as the production of a large number of Russian weapon systems at that time involved imported components, assemblies or materials. Denied access to them, Russia could fail to implement its State Armaments Program for 2011-2020 (SAP-2011).
