| Summary/Abstract |
THE IMPORTANCE of the "Vienna international platform" in dealing with topical issues facing mankind in the 21st century has been growing in recent years. It provides conditions for the formulation of a positive, unifying agenda for international relations. One special feature of the Vienna-based universal-format international organizations is that their potential for confrontation is insignificant while the opportunities for constructive cooperation in tackling topical issues, common to all states, are quite substantial.
In the energy sphere, this involves the peaceful use of atomic energy (IAEA), the promotion of energy saving and energy efficiency by developing and disseminating new technologies (UNIDO); in the security sphere, nonproliferation of nuclear weapons and "sensitive" technologies, fighting international organized crime and drug trafficking (the IAEA, the NPT Preparatory Committee, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the Wassenaar Arrangement, etc.); in the sphere of research, analysis and forecast of international development trends, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), and etc.
There is an increasing need for this creative potential today when there is a growing understanding in the world and at the United Nations in particular that it will be impossible to solve global problems through unipolar approaches, sheer pragmatism and narrow state preferences.

| Summary/Abstract |
Novyy Vensky zhurnal: Mr. Zmeyevskiy, how can the international organizations in Vienna, which interact with the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation, help to carry out the tasks posed by President Dmitry Medvedev aimed at Russia's modernization?
Alexander Zmeyevskiy: The international organizations in Vienna have significant expert potential and experience in implementing large innovative projects in the most diverse areas. They can also contribute to solving Russia's modernization tasks in the interests of our country's long-term development. Let us take, for example, atomic energy development programs, which constitute a separate vector within the framework of the modernization project. Progress in this area is impossible without extensive international cooperation, a perceptible role in which is played by the IAEA. In accordance with the functions set forth in its statute, the Agency is authorized "to encourage and assist research on, and development and practical application of, atomic energy for peaceful uses throughout the world ..." Today the world atomic energy industry is undergoing rapid development. The demand for energy-efficient and safe nuclear technology is steadily rising. Russia, which possesses immense scientific and industrial potential in this sphere, is traditionally one of the leaders in fundamental and applied research, as well as in the building and operation of atomic energy plants, including in China, India, Bulgaria, and now in Belarus. The IAEA platform offers broad opportunities for promoting Russia's advanced technology for the world market and for exchanging experience, knowledge, and achievements in the nuclear sphere.
