Summary/Abstract

THE MARKET REFORMS of the 1990s temporarily pushed to the side everything what was going on beyond the Russian borders. Recently, however, the global economic crisis, NATO's eastward expansion up to the Russian borders; American plans of deploying ABM elements in Poland and the Czech Republic and many other international developments put the outside world back into the focus of Russia's attention. The political community and the public should wake up to the consequences of the tectonic shifts on the international scene.

Summary/Abstract

THERE is no longer any doubt that the Western blitzkrieg in Ukraine has failed phenomenally. The seven-year rearmament of Ukraine, comparable to the appeasement policy toward Nazi Germany (in order to provide it with sufficient military resources for an attack on the USSR), combined with a sharp increase in sanctions-based pressure on Moscow (all its impact came from the initial sanctions packages) could not bring down the Russian economy in the first 18 to 24 months of the SMO [Special Military Operation]. Thus, they were unable to destabilize the domestic political situation in the country or create conditions for "regime change" and the subsequent dismemberment of the country as a form of the "final solution" to the Russian question. Inflicting a "battlefield defeat" on Russia last summer and autumn also proved impossible. Even though we employed a clearly small number of people, we were able to mount an effective defense by adopting a long-term, stable, and almost industrialized format.
