Armen Oganesyan, Editor-in-Chief of International Affairs: This year, the CIS is 25 years old. There is a view that the CIS facilitated a civilized divorce of the Soviet republics. What do you think about it?

ON DECEMBER 31, 2016, Ban Ki-moon will end his term as the eighth UN secretary general, spending two terms at the organization's helm - a total of 10 years. It so happens that I have observed his work all these years, closely interacting with the secretary general by virtue of our country's status as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, bearing a special responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. This article is about Ban Ki-moon's initiatives and reforms, as well as their results, which he is leaving to his successor, Portugal's Antonio Guterres.

IN 1983, VLADIMIR LUKIN* brought out a book that became a landmark not only for the Institute for the U.S. and Canadian Studies of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, where he worked at that time, but for the entire Soviet scholarly community. It was per se remarkable that the book, entitled Centers of Power: Concepts and Realities, was published at a time when, let me remind you, the Soviet-American confrontation and the rivalry between the two world systems reached their peak and, let's face it, each system professed an ideology that essentially painted a black-and-white picture of the world and claimed to be superior to the other system. Few people could have thought in those days that that state of affairs could come to an end any time soon. The United States was getting ready for a grueling struggle with the Soviets. Almost nobody in either country thought that any third party would ever come forward and throw down the gauntlet to the world's two superpowers. Each system was getting ready for its own historic victory and saw the rest of the world as so many pieces on the chessboard.

IN THE SPRING OF 2017, we will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tajikistan. The above period is characterized by a lot of important developments in the relations between the two countries, and a solid groundwork has also been laid for a progressive development of multifaceted bilateral interaction in the future. In this context, I would like to share with the readers my vision of what have been achieved in the past 25 years, as well as of the future prospects for the Russian-Tajik relations.

BEHIND THE POLICY of Western countries and their allies toward Russia in the Ukrainian crisis is a long-term strategy adopted by key Western powers, and the Ukrainian conflict is just one manifestation of this strategy. Claims by the United States that it is the world leader, far from raising any objections from its allies, are supported by them in every way.

CHINESE-RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP is deeply rooted in historical realities. The People's Republic of China was proclaimed on October 1, 1949. On the next day, the PRC and the USSR established diplomatic relations, and the Soviet Union became the first country to officially recognize new China. During those years, Chinese-Soviet, and subsequently Chinese-Russian relations went through many trials and stood the test of time. Being stable, robust, and mature, they have become a model of intergovernmental relations in the modern world. Chinese-Russian relations have been currently going through the most favorable period in their history, maintaining their high level and thus benefitting the peoples of both countries.

| Summary/Abstract |
MONGOLIA AND RUSSIA have long enjoyed traditionally friendly relations. Russia was the first state to officially recognize the independence of our country and establish diplomatic relations with Mongolia. Treaty on the Establishment of Friendly Relations Between Mongolia and the Russian Federation signed on November 5, 1921 not only laid the groundwork for official relations between the two countries, but also consolidated our independence. Being close neighbors, we shared both hardships in the years of trials and successes during peacetime. Mongolia's further close relations and cooperation with the Soviet Union were crucial for defending its independence and territorial integrity in 1939, recognizing Mongolia's sovereignty in 1945 by the leading world powers, as well as for the country's joining the United Nations in 1961 as its full member. It is those heartwarming traditions based on the sincere feelings of friendship and mutual attraction prevailing among the peoples of Mongolia and Russia that determine the development of our relations.

THROUGHOUT SEVERAL DECADES, starting with the 1970s, political life in France was unfolding as the right-left opposition. Strong political alliances on both sides and the majority electoral system made second rounds of presidential and parliamentary elections inevitable. Dichotomy was spread to the country's entire population: all and every Frenchman referred himself/herself to one of the political flanks, the political bias being normally inherited from the older generations. We can even say that the right or left political preferences have become one of the most important self-identification features of the citizens of the Fifth Republic.

UNTIL THE EARLY 1960S, modern political Islam did not have much influence in the Arab world or in the Middle East. There was an ongoing conflict in the region between nationalists, who were supported by the Soviet Union, and conservative regimes, which were supported by the West. Over time, radical movements managed to build a political consensus to strengthen their influence. However, the gradual escalation of insoluble problems triggered the onset of the destruction of political nationalism. In addition, radical public trends outwardly emulated European radicalism.

NORMALLY, the military, political, economic and social factors are fairly obvious and, therefore, are treated as the key objects of situational analysis and political science assessments in foreign policy planning and forcasting. On the other hand, values, ideologies, political will, and motivations require special attention as the factors the vagueness of which is created by considerable cultural distinctions, specifics of outlooks and self-awareness of different people living in different states.

SOME TWENTY-FIVE YEARS ago, those who in the old dispute about the role of the individual in history argued that success of political initiatives depended on the ability of state leaders to look into the future acquired another argument. Tired of the string of failed reforms inside the country and trying to get rid of the tag of failures, the Soviet "architects of perestroika" turned their attention to the global world. A talented man is talented in everything: by the same token, once a failure always a failure. The predecessors of the "Pokemon catchers" of our times borrowed the Anglo-American derogatory "looser," an apt definition of the "foremen of Soviet perestroika": the accolades piled up on them in the West transformed into tragic failures inside the country they ventured to make happy.

TODAY, some of the key trends in the Middle Eastern subsystem of international relations are shaped and are unfolding under pressure of extraregional powers and the foreign policy they realize in the region. The United States is one of these powers; this means that a better understanding of the causes and essense of certain processes going on in the region calls for a closer study of Washington's politics and the instruments it uses to achieve its foreign policy aims.
