| Summary/Abstract |
FROM THE VERY FIRST DAYS of its history, ASEAN as a large regional structure, its specifics and prospects as well as its relations with the great powers, the Soviet Union/Russia including, remained in the focus of attention of Russian science. Such prominent scholars as N. Maletin, A. Rogozhin and G. Chufrin have been following the Association's evolution since its inception. All of them have commendable academic achievements on their record, yet I am convinced that Professor of Moscow State Institute (University) of International Relations Nikolai Maletin deserves special mention. For over 10 years now, he has been editing annual collections of articles on the most topical problems and developments in Southeast Asia issued by the Institute of Oriental Studies, RAS. In 2004, he marked the 40th anniversary of ASEAN with a highly informative monograph. Recently, he, together with two colleagues, edited a book written by experts of the Institute for Far Eastern Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences.
