| Summary/Abstract |
ON FEBRUARY 13, 2018, Stefano Feltri, well-known in his country as a political analyst and deputy director of Il Fatto Quotidiano daily, published his new book Populismo sovrano.1 He has written that populism revived in Europe and outside it is rooted in the current demand for sovereignty, concerns over the negative effects of globalization and the crumbling of the West that for a fairly long period of postwar social contract based on integration that guaranteed peace and prosperity remained responsible for sustainable development. The crisis of political discourse caused by the shop-soiled ideas and programs of the traditional mainstream parties, which offered no adequate answers to the new challenges of contemporary globalism, rekindled populism in the West. This crisis provoked a deep-seated mistrust in the party system, parliamentarianism, political elites, and international institutions that in the eyes of the common people look not amenable to any reform. People have no faith not only in the results of the procedures of representative democracy, but in these procedures themselves up to and including the mechanism of delegated responsibility and the importance of compromises between different political positions.

WITH 61 STATES (representing four-fifths of the planet's total population) involved in WWII, and 110 million people taking part in hostilities,1 the political, economic and military status of the Arab peoples did not allow them to play any prominent role in the victory of the Allies over the Axis Powers. For seven postwar decades, the Middle East and North Africa remained a zone of large-scale armed conflicts and permanent military-political turbulence that, from time to time, pushed the world to the brink of global armed confrontation. This explains the close attention of historians and political scientists to the recent history of the Arab East and, in particular, the role its population played in World War II.

TODAY, the international community devotes considerable attention to the political, military and economic aspects of cyber security. This is only natural. Disruption of critical infrastructure, cyber espionage, hacking attacks on big business and the banking sector - indeed, these are extremely acute problems now. However, let's talk about a no less important aspect of information security, its humanitarian dimension, specifically the security of children and teenagers on the Internet. There is a well-known expression: "Children are our future." There can be no sustainable development of the state or the international community as a whole unless children, as the most vulnerable social group, are provided appropriate protection and rights in cyberspace. It may be recalled that, according to expert estimates, every third Internet user in the world is under the age of 18. This is a substantial figure.

We come together annually at this time of the year to mark the greatest date in the history of our country, Victory Day, the day when we celebrate the great achievements of our fathers and grandfathers, and a day of sorrow for those who did not return from the battlefield. Those included employees of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs and the People's Commissariat for Foreign Trade, whose memory has been eternalized in this room. As we render homage to their feats, let us remember the efforts of those who operated on the foreign policy front to provide a diplomatic backing to the fight of the peoples of the Soviet Union against Hitler's Germany.

International Affairs: Mikhail Leonidovich, recently a historic session of the Ninth Legislature of the National Assembly of People's Power (parliament) took place, where Cuba's new leadership was elected. The country is going through a process of adjustment; the country's socioeconomic foundations are transforming, but its commitment to the socialist cause with its national specifics remains unchanged. At the same time, there is an ongoing change of generations in the republic's ruling establishment. How are Russian-Cuban relations developing under these complex conditions?

THE FEBRUARY REVOLUTION of 1917 in Russia removed the regime of czarist autocracy from the stage; the Foreign Ministry, however, survived with minimal losses. The Provisional Government brought to power by the revolution was determined to follow the previous foreign policy course. The Foreign Ministry returned to the scene after four days of revolutionary turmoil even if the situation in the country looked more like a war than anything else which inevitably affected the ministry's functioning and the course it tried to follow. As could be expected, political power could not leave the ministry alone. Its interference in foreign policy had caused disagreements that gradually spread to the Provisional Government.

RUSSIA in general and its social thinkers in particular began to take interest in Europe during the reforms of Peter the Great. This interest was very much alive during the subsequent string of female reigns, the years when the imperial throne was occupied by Anna Ioannovna, Elizabeth Petrovna and Catherine the Great. It was a period of rapid Europeanization of the country's ruling strata. The most significant 18th-and 19th-century works of Russian literature raising the Europe theme are Letters of a Russian Traveler by Nikolay Karamzin (he wrote it in 1791-1792, when he was still young), some chapters in Alexander Herzen'sMy Past and Thoughts (1855-1868), and, of course, Russia and Europe by Nikolay Danilevsky (1869). After that, books on this theme multiplied and ran into dozens, and from the turn of the century onward into hundreds.

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.

NOW that the new German government's unprecedentedly lengthy birth throes are over (that government isn't actually all that new), and Germany is back to its political routine, one would naturally wonder whether Russian-German relations would undergo any changes.

IN ITALY, attitude to its Jewish community was different at different times. Early in the twentieth century, it was mainly tinged in religious colors; Catholics objected to Judaism as a religion that opposed the principles of the Roman Catholic Church.1 Fascism added chauvinism to the Jewish Question and made it sharply politicized.

IN GLOBAL SPORTS, 2018 is a remarkable year with its two outstanding events, the XXIII Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang in South Korea in February, and the FIFA World Cup in Russia in June and July, the first FIFA world cup to be hosted by Russia. Since 1994, Winter Olympics and FIFA world tournaments have always been held in the same year, the end-year of a four-year cycle in top-class sporting contests. But the period from 2014 to 2018 was probably the first four-year cycle when, in defiance of all common sense, it was not athletes or fans who called the shots but behind-the-scenes lobbyists in international sports organizations and functionaries in them who were fulfilling odious political contracts. In looking at our numerous athletes who have fallen victim to the global anti-Russian campaign, one has to admit, sad as it is: 0 Sport, you have become war.

Armen Oganesyan, Editor-in-Chief of International Affairs: Yury Konstantinovich, let's begin our discussion with the price of oil and the price of energy as a whole. Of late, the United States has been exerting pressure on OPEC to make member countries of this organization increase their oil production and therefore reduce oil prices. How does this benefit the U.S. ? After all, it is an oil-producing country.

IT HAS BEEN over a year since President Donald Trump announced on June 1, 2017 that the United States was withdrawing from the United Nations Paris Agreement on climate change. He thereby put an end to the suspense that had lasted right from the U.S. presidential election and was on a par with a good thriller. Though the Republican election platform included a point to remove the U.S. signature from under the accord and Trump had repeatedly confirmed it, the global environmentalist lobby had constantly kept world public opinion agitated by speculations in the media.
