THE HIGH WAVE of social and political protest in the Middle East and North Africa raised by mainly domestic discontent gave all sorts of external forces a chance to channel anti-government riots in the desired direction.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE BEGINNING of 2022 was marked by mass demonstrations in Kazakhstan, one of the largest CIS countries, connected with Russia by the closest economic and political partnership ties. The riots were eventually stopped with the support of a peacekeeping contingent of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) invited by the government of Kazakhstan. Speaking at an emergency CSTO summit meeting on January 10, 2022, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said that a "real terrorist war" had occurred in the republic with the participation of "international terrorists of known origin."1 Yerlan Karin, appointed state secretary by Tokayev in January, also noted the participation in the Kazakhstan uprising of "members of a number of radical and extremist organizations.

| Summary/Abstract |
ON JULY 26, 2015, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on board the frigate Admiral of the Soviet Navy Gorshkov endorsed a new version of the Maritime Doctrine of the Russian Federation, the basic document that specifies Russia's naval and maritime policy. This version added the Mediterranean to the areas of the national maritime policy (the Atlantic, Arctic and Pacific zones) and specified that Russia's naval presence there is aimed at "turning it into the zone of military-political stability and good-neighborly relations."1 This is not fortuitous: The region is one of the main zones of Russia's politics and international cooperation. Time has come to sort out regional developments, varied interests of the states involved and the problems they have to cope with. In other words, we should arrive at a clear idea about the region's importance for the Russian Federation.
