Summary/Abstract |
Rethinking the nuclear arms policy implies making it independent - that is, relieving it of the task of maintaining parity with the United States and subordinating it to the interests of the military security and international political influence of Russia. Russia's military security can be effectively and reliably ensured by a much smaller arsenal of strategic nuclear forces than it has now, even considering the possible need to overcome the U.S. missile defense system in the future.

Summary/Abstract |
On Monday, December 31, more than a quarter of century ago, the 1984th year since the birth of a legendary prophet, who, as believed, finished his earthly ordeal on the cross in the Roman province of Judaea, came to an end. That year was very much like many others, when the superpowers were fighting the Cold War and building up nuclear arsenals, the developed countries continued to struggle with recurring economic crises, and the developing nations with never-ending ones. It was just another year when people were born and died, when they dated each other, celebrated weddings, made professional and public careers, became national leaders and made scientific discoveries. The boldest forecasts for that year did not come true: the totalitarian regime George Orwell had described in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four 35 years earlier had not conquered the globe, and the answer to Andrei Amalrik's question "Will the Soviet Union Survive Until 1984?" was in the affirmative.

Summary/Abstract |
he conservative ideologists have come to the ultimate conclusion that it does not make sense to rely on the European Union as a protector of Britain's national interests in the international scene and that its own independent capabilities should be built up. In the new European context London's approach might become a model to follow for other major EU states.

Summary/Abstract |
The backbone of the Soviet economy was built during the period of industrialization before 1940, and in the post-war period from 1945-1960.Then the system failed after reaching its peak of growth in the 1970s. The decline dragged on until 1998. Russians paid a high price in the 1940s and the 1950s for building the foundation of a national industry, and civil freedoms in the 1990s. It is only now that the new Russia has a truly excellent opportunity to develop into a strong and prosperous country.

Summary/Abstract |
It goes without saying that the "game" being played in the post-Soviet space remains a priority for the Russian Federation in building up its international influence and foreign policy strategy in general. Creation of Russian soft power resources through consolidation and organization of the Russian diasporas is an indispensable condition for effective work on this foreign-policy track.

Summary/Abstract |
It will be difficult to see stronger ties between Japan and Russia in the short term; however, it is important to strengthen these ties in the long term. Japan needs Russia as an energy supplier and for investment, while Russia needs Japanese assistance in its economic reform for sustainable development. The China factor will push Tokyo and Moscow towards strategic dialogue.

Summary/Abstract |
Political ecology is an extremely interesting and promising area of research - both theoretical and applied. However, further probes are required, that would make it possible to move on from the accumulation of empirical data to the required level of theorizing, and also to devise a comprehensive strategy for the state to follow in practice. Delays in this field would keep Russia in a second-rate position in the world for decades to come.
