| Summary/Abstract |
THE ELEVENTH OF JANUARY of this year was the 100th anniversary of the death of the Russian Empire's last ambassador to the United Kingdom, Count Alexander Benckendorff, who is buried inside the Westminster Cathedral in London, the main Catholic church of England and Wales. This anniversary was, in a sense, a reminder of a mission that Benckendorff had in London, where he arrived in 1903, but was unable to fulfill. What was that mission, and why its failure still affects us today?

DISAPPOINTMENTS caused by the lost chances to start a "new post-Cold War history" of world politics made counterfactual history the latest trend of historical studies. Alexey Arbatov has rightly written: "In the early 1990s, the U.S. had a unique historical chance to lead the creation of a new, multilateral world order together with other centers of power. However, it unwisely lost this chance" thus making wars, crises and misunderstandings between Russia and the West unavoidable.

| Summary/Abstract |
Mr. Sestanovich makes clear his reason for this prediction, i.e. he doesn't like Russian diplomacy's success in turning things around in international community's response to the Syrian crisis. He does omit, however, a few facts of real consequence. Syria's chemical disarmament under UNSC Resolution 2118, indeed, represents a common denominator for all, including Russia and the U.S. But we didn't impose it on our partners. What we did is called providing leadership when our partners were confronted with impossible dilemmas. Britain resolved its own on August 29 through a vote of Parliament. The Obama administration faced a similar prospect in Congress. What is important is that the legislators of both countries reflected the prevailing mood of their public opinion. What is more, it was British Parliament that by its decision was the first to encourage President Obama to go to Congress on Syria, which ultimately led to UNSC unity.

| Summary/Abstract |
POLITICAL ANALYSTS in many countries, including America, have been discussing a post-American world for years now. The Ukrainian crisis and its impending end allow us to talk about a new kind of geopolitics, since extensive American involvement in this conflict by proxy might mean that the defeat of Kiev will become the defeat of the US/Anglo-Saxons, albeit indirectly - but that is the only possible form of defeat in the era of nuclear confrontation. After the defeat of Napoleon's France and Hitler's Germany, this is the last missing link in the chain of forceful showdowns between the West and Russia. This will bring a new normal to global and European politics ushered in by a period of nonconfrontation during which the Western elites will learn to accept the new reality. This will be complicated by their euphoria over "victory in the Cold War" and the illusion of a "unipolar world" that have shaped the current generation of Western politicians.
