IT WAS WEDNESDAY, March 24, 1999. At eight o'clock in the evening, the first NATO shells fell on military and civilian facilities in Belgrade, Pristina, and Nis. The NATO operation against Yugoslavia, officially codenamed "Allied Force," had begun. Meanwhile, the U.S. Armed Forces' involvement in the NATO operation was codenamed "Noble Anvil," commonly called "Merciful Angel" in Serbia.

I only wished to say that ideas that have great results are always simple ones. My whole idea is that if vicious people are united and constitute a power, then honest folk must do the same. Now that's simple enough.

THE 19TH CONGRESS of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was held on October 18-24, 2017. Chinese media noted that the Congress took place was open and global in nature: It was covered by more than 3,600 journalists, including 1,818 correspondents from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and 134 countries. In addition, the idea of "comprehensively covering an event of global significance" was presented as broadcasting China's voice to the world and explaining the country's plan for future development.

COLLEAGUES, FRIENDS, we are grateful to you for your participation in our regular conference, which has already become traditional, on the distinctive features of modern processes in the post-Soviet space. This is our ninth conference. We will discuss regional security issues in the post-Soviet space; the advantages and benefits of the Silk Road running from China to Russia's northern shores via Central Asia; the issue of federalization; engagement with the Russian diaspora in the former Soviet republics, and the media component of modern politics. I wish you an interesting and meaningful discussion. And now, again in keeping with tradition, I give the floor to Russian Foreign Ministry representative, Alexey Drobinin, deputy director of the Foreign Policy Planning Department, who will read a message of greetings from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to the participants of our conference.

USE OF THE SEA in the modern era is marked by the widespread use by coastal states of maritime spatial planning (MSP). In 2014, almost 40 countries developed or implemented territorial plans for delimiting offshore zones within national EEZs (exclusive economic zones*) and determining their industrial purpose. This practice is employed by states all over the world, including Australia, Israel, Canada, New Zealand, Norway, China, the U.S., the EU member states, as well as several other countries in Africa, Asia, Oceania, North and Central America [8, pp. 14 18].

THE DYNAMISM of the modern world, the growing interdependence of its subjects, and the rapid development of information and communication technologies (ICT) contribute to a significant intensification of interstate dialogue, as well as the emergence of new forms and methods of influencing international audiences. In these conditions, the role diplomatic agencies play in providing information support of foreign policy activity (ISFPA) and how they do so is changing.

THE WORLD is paying close and steadily growing attention to history, politics and practice of federalism, Russia being no exception. The subject has been covered in hundreds of books and thousands of articles; it was discussed at numerous scientific conferences and seminars yet the interest in it is not subsiding. It is increasing because federalism, its role and place in the contemporary world is gaining importance. Despite the serious and obvious achievements of the scientific theory of federalism it has not yet adequately expressed the essence and the far from simple and, in fact, contradictory nature of this phenomenon, hence new concepts and new doctrines.

TODAY'S international political competition is largely about states and political groups trying to undermine one another's prestige, and they far from always use peaceful means in doing so. The arsenals that are used in such struggles include false flags - attacks, sometimes causing heavy casualties, that are falsely blamed on their adversariesby those who carry them out.

WAY BACK IN 1990, the Washington-based United States Institute of Peace, one of many American "think tanks," held a colloquium with then still Soviet historians on a topic that is still relevant today: How the Cold War began, what kept it from turning "hot," and what lessons are we to draw from it all. Elspeth Rostow made the unexpected remark that the Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded to the atomic bomb. I don't recall whether she was a member of the American delegation or was simply accompanying her spouse Walt Rostow (author of the famous "The Stages of Economic Growth: A Non-Communist Manifesto" who during the Vietnam War was President Johnson's special assistant for national security affairs and, incidentally, a fierce "hawk")

| Summary/Abstract |
AT A CDU/CSU PARTY CONGRESS in late 2015, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her decision to allow all those who wished to cross the German border to do so freely was a "humanitarian imperative."1 On one hand, Germany is facing a labor shortage, which it planned to address by attracting foreigners. The plans of the German leadership to incorporate all the migrants who arrived in 2015-2016 into the national economy have not yet been fully implemented, and, conversely, the cost of supporting this group of individuals is an additional financial burden on the recipient society. It is obvious that illiterate young people who do not speak German and who wander city streets in groups and commit petty crimes are unlikely to become a driving force for modernizing industry and ensuring significant qualitative economic advancement.

CAN AMERICAN POLITICIANS talk sensibly about Russia? Major statements in the last year by leading contenders for the next presidential election in 2020 are not encouraging: they have presented severely distorted views of Russia and grossly exaggerated threats from the Kremlin. However, some influential politicians in the United States do have more realistic and balanced perspectives on Russia. Observers who wish for improved American-Russian relations should therefore be patient and not abandon all hope.

INFORMATIONAL WORK is among the most important elements of a state's modern military-technical policy. The tasks, target audience and specific nature of sources would seemingly set the methods of information work in the military-technical field far apart from this work in other areas - for example, in domestic policy, the economy or culture and ideology. However, as we shall see in this article, that is not quite the case.

BOTH PRINCIPLES mentioned in the title of this article were included in the UN Charter for good reason, despite their seeming contradiction. They concern not only the generally accepted conditions for settling international conflicts but also the very existence of multinational states, their internal homogeneity and interethnic contradictions that periodically arise.

FIVE YEARS AGO, a coup d'etat took place in Kiev. Following demonstrations and arson attacks, a mob seized several government institutions, including the administration building and residence of the constitutionally elected president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovich. Some members of the Ukrainian president's security detail who were protecting his residence from illegal seizure were wounded and killed.1 Alexander Turchinov, one of the coup leaders, began serving as the president of Ukraine even though no Ukrainian presidential election had been held.

TWENTY YEARS AGO, NATO unleashed a war in the very heart of Europe against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) that left blood-chilling memories on the continent. It brought destruction, loss of numerous civilian lives, serious social and political problems in Europe and elsewhere in the world, juridical disagreements, conflicts and crises not yet resolved by either the European or world community.
