| Summary/Abstract |
THE BASIC OBJECTIVES of diplomacy do not change with the passing of time. Diplomacy is tasked with securing conditions for maintaining and developing the state, society and its inherent culture. This simple assertion requires three clarifications: Diplomats are generally the first to deal with problems and potential conflicts that arise, which means they are the first line of defense of that country's interests; as state officials, diplomats act within set frameworks, and independence and improvisation are a rather rare and perforce exceptions to the rule; national interests are almost always stable and have nothing to do with the political regime in the country.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE WORLD ORDER is undergoing yet another transformation, and one whose result is hard to foresee.1 Europe is getting ready to get involved in rivalries among options for globalization, and this means it is again important for scholars to take up something that until recently was in danger of becoming a peripheral area of research - holistic studies of individual countries, including analysis of behavior models of smaller states and their desire and resources for relationships with larger actors.

| Summary/Abstract |
IGOR MAXIMYCHEV, Doctor of Science (History), chief research associate of the Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences, has written a book that has been published in the German language in Germany recently and has a title translating as To Understand Russia: What Moscow Really Thinks of Germany and Where New Confidence Can Come From* The publication of Russian scholarly books in foreign languages is hardly a rarity these days. However, works on political science, history and other social sciences account for too small a share of them to match the role one expects Russia to play in international scholarly discourse, in shaping European and global public opinion, and in supporting Russian diplomacy. Conferences and discussions are important formats for the statement of views, but books, both print and electronic, indisputably hold a special place.
