U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP has inherited large strategic and tactical nuclear arsenals from his predecessor, Barack Obama, and a strategy of "unconditional offensive nuclear deterrence," which allows for the possibility of a preemptive nuclear strike against practically any country that is not an ally, friend or partner of the United States.

DESPITE 100 YEARS that separate us from the time of Nicholas II, his role as the autocratic ruler of Russia's foreign policy remains practically ignored, let alone studied in any detail, by Russian and foreign historiography. In Russia, meanwhile, foreign policy was invariably the prerogative of the man on the throne, Nicholas II being no exception. According to Anatoly Ignatyev, "by law, tradition and convictions he was the sovereign ruler of Russia's foreign policy while he remained on the throne.

First, someone wearing rather casual clothes instead of the uniform jacket of a hydrographer climbed Tokarevsky Lighthouse on the spit separating Amur Bay from Golden Horn Bay and shouted something when a Far Eastern Shipping Company (FESCO) vessel was passing by. Meanwhile, a mini-copter with a video camera on board was circling over the lighthouse. The guy on the lighthouse was getting commands from a vigorous young woman down below and was apparently obeying them unquestioningly - he would turn left and right, wave his arms, and so on.

THE CENTURY-LONG HISTORY of Finland's independence and its relations with the Soviet Union/Russian Federation can be conventionally divided into four periods: the beginning (early 20th century to 1917); formal sovereignty and de facto dependence on Germany (1918-1944); cooperation with the Soviet Union as a guarantee of independence, "Eastern Trade," Finnish Initiatives (1945-1991); good-neighborly relations with Russia, integration with the West (since 1992).

THE PRESENT-DAY FRAMEWORK of international relations includes quite a few regional organizations, which have proved their value and efficiency. There is among them, however, one that has always been holding a special place - namely, the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), which was established in 1967 and in the fifty years of its existence has not only successfully confirmed its viability but has also been able to become a focal point for strengthening broad international cooperation, involving the participation of practically all leading world powers.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE NEW (2016) FOREIGN POLICY CONCEPT of the Russian Federation is based on fundamental trends in the international system of the 21st century. This, without any doubt, predetermines the axiology and applied orientation of the document approved by Russian President V.V. Putin. Its adoption reflects Russia's geopolitical responsibility for the progressive development of the world order. Russia's international legal position is an essential component of this intellectual, conceptual approach, ensuring the harmony and dialectics of international and national sovereign interests. Its presence is logical and objective, proceeding from the premise that the international agenda includes a wide range of strategic problems that can be effectively resolved only on the basis of the principles and institutions of law and democracy.

THE SCIENTIFIC and technological revolution (information revolution) that started in the 1960s became a catalyst for globalization with its concomitant processes, which continue today and involve practically all spheres of public life, including diplomacy. "Today," says Jürgen Habermas, "globally dispersed media, networks, and systems in general necessitate increasingly dense symbolic and social interrelations, which lead to the constant reciprocal influence of local and far distant events."1 According to Habermas, this is a distinguishing mark of today's world.

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES Donald Trump called NATO an obsolete organization and demanded that the European allies should contribute bigger "fair shares" to European security. This includes, among other things, total fulfillment of their obligation to steadily raise their share of military expenditures up to 2% of their GDPs. This caused consternation among the European leaders and the fears that America's role and guarantees would be eroded, transatlantic unity weakened and the role of NATO undermined. Trump's unconditional acceptance of Brexit as the Brits' wise move fanned doubts in the new American administration's wholehearted devotion to the strategic alliance with Europe/EC and its ability to remain NATO's responsible leader.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE YEAR 2016 showed ever more graphically and forcefully the depth of the value crisis of the Western political system led by the United States and its allies, regional and European. The remaining community of non-Western states increasingly distrust and even reject the West-imposed "gifts" of neoliberalism, which, according to prominent U.S. philosopher Noam Chomsky, has changed since Adam Smith's days only in terms of the scope of its expansion. Previously, these "gifts" were touted by traders and industrialists who used state power to serve their interests despite the painful consequences for others, including the British people ("others" are colonies, mandated territories and so on); now the goals are more wide-ranging and ambitious: entire countries and regions of the world, as well as the entire world itself.

| Summary/Abstract |
Over the past 25 years, that is, since a new sovereign state entity appeared in the world arena in December 1991, this is the fifth document adopted by Russia's supreme leadership that presents its views on the fundamental principles, priorities, tasks, and goals of Russia's foreign policy. However, if this event is approached from a practical (businesslike), not formal, standpoint, then it turns out that it is in fact the first document on this scale and of this kind, as it drastically differs from the previous documents. When a new international entity emerged in the geographical territory of the RSFSR (Russia's historical territory) on June 12, 1990, the leadership of this entity, as represented by Boris Yeltsin and his entourage, had no idea of what economic and political model they would propose to 145 million RSFSR citizens. The only thing that was somehow clear was that this model would not be a repetition of the Bolshevist state planning model. A foreign policy concept was not formulated. So, the first decade was spent in search of a concept. It was almost a blind search.

Armen Oganesyan, Editor-in-Chief of International Affairs: This year marks the tercentennial of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Russia and France. It is believed that official bilateral relations were established because of Peter the Great's visit to Paris. M. Asselin-eau, how do you assess the potential for Russian-French relations? How important can it be not only for our two countries but also for the international community?

| Summary/Abstract |
THE EUROPEAN UNION, one of the main load-bearing structures of the world order, is still in the process of integration; it has not yet reached its final form. From the very beginning, it was expected to become one of the most prominent initiatives of mankind and an attempt to create the most perfect system of relationships and cooperation between peoples. In many respects, the project was stimulated by the ideas and theories of the best minds of Europe from Victor Hugo and Giuseppe Mazzini, their ideas being developed by Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi, Aristide Briand, the Mann brothers, and the contemporary authors of the European idea.

SOUTH KOREA is one of the world's top ten exporters. As of 2015, it was the world's sixth-largest exporter and ninth-largest importer. That year, South Korean products accounted for 3.2% of global exports and for 2.6% of world imports compared with 0.85% and 1.07% respectively in 1980.1 Hence the country has played an increasing role in the international division of labor.

| Summary/Abstract |
INAUGURATED ON JANUARY 20, 2017 as the 45th President of the United States, Donald John Trump was well known to the nation as a businessman who had never filled any state posts and never craved the presidency. Back in 1990, he said: "I don't want to be President. I'm one hundred percent sure. I'd change my mind only if I saw this country continue to go down the tubes."1 This means that by 2015 when he decided to run on his own money, without sponsors and lobbyists, to become the best American president he had been absolutely sure that the country was going down the tubes.

A. Frolov: Having left the deplorable crisis behind, Russia and Turkey added positive energy to their bilateral relations even though unanimity on certain issues is impossible for objective reasons. For obvious reasons, these relations should be discussed in the context of the deep-cutting political and social transformations unfolding inside the Turkish society, the root of the current ups and downs of Turkish politics.

UNTIL VERY RECENTLY, it had been a general mantra in the United States that it was wrong to put any restrictions on the Internet or bring it under any control. Silicon Valley innovators who designed social network platforms didn't worry too much about how the latter might be used. They planned to organize online communities where members would have facilities for comfortable intercommunication and trade. They had in mind conflict-free, purely progressive development of U.S. digital society and assumed that their designs were far ahead of the resources of terrorists.
