Summary/Abstract |
ON DECEMBER 5, 2011, Bonn hosted a large-scale International Afghanistan Conference under the slogan "Afghanistan and the International Community: From Transition to the Transformation Decade" attended by high representatives of about 100 countries and international organizations, in short, practically the entire range of the world community. The conference met to look at ten years of post-Taliban development and reconfirm a broad international consensus on the Roadmap of the country's development after the draw-down of American and NATO contingents launched in the summer of 2011 and expected to be completed in 2014.

Summary/Abstract |
LATE IN DECEMBER 1979, the Soviet Union moved troops into Afghanistan. The nearly decade-long presence of Soviet armed forces in Afghanistan in a bid to help the People's Democratic Party (PDPA) put its Utopian dream of building Soviet-modeled socialism into reality was a complicated and controversial period not only in Afghan but also in our own history, and it still receives mixed assessments.

Summary/Abstract |
THE JOINT American and NATO campaign in Afghanistan which has been going on for over a decade now became the Alliance's largest and most expensive operation.
It has already sucked in over $ 1 trillion, claimed over 3 thousand lives (over half of them American) and left over 100 thousand wounded. As the hardest psychological test for NATO it triggered talks about its systemic crisis.

Summary/Abstract |
THE TIME that has passed since most of the Western military contingent was withdrawn from Afghanistan has not led to the materialization of the weak hope for the government's ability to meet the formidable challenges involved in stabilizing the situation and peace-building in the country, including on the basis of dialogue with the armed opposition. Extreme instability will most likely predetermine the internal situation in Afghanistan also in the foreseeable future. After more than the decade-long active presence of foreign troops in Afghanistan, as well as massive external financial and economic infusions, the country continues to be associated with the concept of a "failed state," continuing to be affected by ethnic and religious fragmentation and medieval prejudices. The failure of Washington's mission in Afghanistan was evidenced by its inability to deliver a decisive blow either to al-Qaeda or the Taliban.

Summary/Abstract |
THE YEAR 2014 marked three good round figures in the nearly century-long history of the relationships between Soviet Russia/Soviet Union/Russian Federation and Afghanistan. Last spring, the 95th anniversary of the recognition by Moscow of sovereignty and independence of Afghanistan remained unnoticed; in February, veterans of the Afghan war widely celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Soviet pullout of Afghanistan, while in December we pondered once more on the decision of the Politburo of the CC CPSU to move Soviet troops into Afghanistan adopted 35 years ago. The first date belongs to a prologue of a new stage of international relations launched by the end of World War I and the 1917 October Revolution in Russia; two others belong to the epilogue of the post-World War II international developments and the beginning of the Soviet Union's disintegration.
