| Summary/Abstract |
ANALYSIS OF THE HISTORY of the Russian policy with regard to South Slavic peoples generally boils down to considering Russian-Serbian relations, often unjustifiably leaving out the Slovenians, Croats, Macedonians and others. However, all these peoples have also strived to establish close relations with us and use Russian authority and influence in the struggle for the interests of their own, including, admittedly, in conflicts with each other. For many centuries, Russia has been developing contacts with these peoples, and their cultures kept intertwining.

THIS YEAR, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) has marked two jubilees - the 25th anniversary of the Collective Security Treaty and the 15th anniversary of the organization itself. The CSTO is an effective mechanism that not only guarantees security to the organization's member countries but also plays a serious role in maintaining peace and stability in its region. The CSTO member states have developed close mutual relations that enable them to take effective joint action to defuse international tensions, prevent instability in individual regions, and stop existing conflicts from escalating.

THE HEINOUS ACTS OF TERROR in the first few months of the current year, indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, persecution of whole communities (particularly on the grounds of religion or belief), metro bombings, and terrorist attacks against major European cities continue to shock and horrify. Is it possible to take effective action against such atrocities? What can be done to prevent the assassination of an ambassador or a grenade launcher attack on a consulate general?* How can we enable people to travel by public transport, attend public events, and meet with friends in cafés and restaurants without fearing for their lives or for the lives of their children, friends and relatives?

WE CAN WITNESS TODAY the emergence of a new, polycentric world order. Developing countries play an increasing role in the world economy. This has brought many analysts and politicians to the conclusion that the era of the dominance of the world by the West, an epoch that has spanned centuries, is coming to an end.1 It would be useful to see how this process manifests itself in principal trends and dynamics of development of the legal map of the world.

THE REGIME for conventional arms control in Europe, established in the 1990s after the end of the Cold War, was for those years a unique set of measures and was seen as a model suitable for other parts of the world as well. However, destructive activities by NATO member countries over the past two decades have eroded it and threaten to ruin it completely if these activities are not stopped. The Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE), which was considered the cornerstone of this regime, is practically dead.

IN THE MID-2010S, the problems related to European Muslims intensified under pressure of the migration crisis and terrorist acts carried out by religiously motivated extremists in some European countries. Hence a closer attention to the far from simple relations between Europe and the Islamic world and to their dimensions: demographic, migration, cultural, political, ideological, social, economic, etc. The scope of an article inevitably narrows down the range of the problems discussed.

A YEAR AGO, on May 5, 2016, the world mass media announced a one-of-its-kind concert by the Mariinsky Theater orchestra, conducted by Valery Gergiev, in the Syrian town of Palmira. Unfortunately, this ancient jewel of the East had become the hostage of the pseudo-Islamic "state" (ISIS, banned in the Russian Federation). So a miraculous appearance of the Russian performers in the heat of an atrocious war became a symbol of the inevitable victory of Good over Evil. This concert, given by outstanding envoys of the Russian culture at the world-renown UNESCO landmark, not only gave the people of Syria hope for a peaceful future - it also demonstrated to the world community our country's high humanistic mission and a creative nature of Russian foreign policy.

THE FRENCH MEDIA wrote about the 2017 presidential campaign in France as unprecedented: for the first time in the history of the Fifth Republic, it was neck-and-neck race of four candidates in the first round of election. Emmanuel Macron who posed as an independent candidate got 24.1% of the votes; President of the National Front Marine Le Pen. 21.3%; nominee of the Republicans Fran�ois Fillon finished with 20.1%. and the leader of extreme left Jean-Luc Mélenchon with 19.58% was the last of the four at the finishing line.1 The extent of disorientation of the French electorate and the unprecedented split were amply confirmed in the second round by the fairly good results of Marine Le Pen (33.9%) confronted by practically all political forces of France; by the much lower turnout - 74.56% against 77.77% in the first round - and a much bigger share of votes blancs: 4.86 million or 11.52%.

THE CURRENT STAGE of Russia's pivot to the East is the product of the second half of the 2000s largely as a belated economic response to the rise of Asia, which opened new opportunities for the country's development, especially for it eastern part. That rise made it possible to turn the Ural region and the Russian Far East from a mainly imperial burden - or a logistics base in confrontation with the West, sometimes a front line in rivalry with Japan or China - into a potential territory of development for the entire country.

IN RUSSIA, there are 84 million users of the Internet. According to recent surveys by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM), nearly half the citizens of Russia believe that their life wouldn't be any different if they didn't use the Internet at all. One wonders if these feelings are the result of wide-scale information about global cyber threats and about violations of the rights of consumers.

THE WAVES OF DESTABILIZATION in the Middle East that have risen high in recent years, terrorist acts that follow one another, persecution of those who think differently or follow different religions in the Muslim countries and even outside them bring to mind, once more, Prof. Huntington. Indeed, can Islam and violence, Islam and democracy and, in the final analysis, Islamic and non-Islamic values cohabitate within the frames of the steadily globalizing community of men?

SIX MONTHS filled with tension and keen apprehension of the "Trump effect" cropping up on the European soil separated two victories at the presidential elections: the victory of conservative Donald Trump in the United States and liberal Emmanuel Macron in France. The nation responded to the preliminary results of the second round in France announced on May 7 with barely concealed relief and a wave of unrestricted jubilation. The European multinational Liberal International that could barely tolerate Marine Le Pen's populist conservatism and the very similar values of the new American president treated Macron's victory as their common victory. Liberal politicians and the biggest European media of similar political and ideological convictions were lavish with words: L'heure de gloire pour la France, Merci La France! and La France dit Non! etc.

THE SWIFT DEVELOPMENT of information and communication technology (ICT) and its use in practically all spheres of activity not only lays the basis for the economic growth of any country but is also a reason for anxiety. Any object using ICT, whether it is civilian, military, social, or commercial, is in the risk zone with a wide range of threats. According to Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) statistics as of January 2017, hacking attacks have caused global damages over the past few years that varying estimates put at between $300 billion and $1 trillion or between 0.4% and 1.5% of the gross world product. Losses caused by hacking have a stable tendency to grow.
