HISTORY knows any number of fantastic metamorphoses, when adversaries or even enemies became partners and even allies (or vice versa), of which the anti-Hitler coalition of the Soviet Union, United States and Great Britain during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) and their collective contribution to the victory over fascism are the greatest examples. Having approached the critical point in history, the leaders of the coalition members - Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill - demonstrated a lot of wisdom. They pushed aside the enmity and mistrust of the prewar years to close ranks in the face of the threat from the bloc of aggressor states.

MY FATHER, Boris Fyodorovich Podtserob, was the senior assistant of the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union during the war. This position allowed him to attend a number of historic diplomatic talks. That is how he came to participate in the Yalta Conference. My father did not leave written memoirs, but he used to tell me about the fateful meeting among three of the world's giants.

THE HISTORY OF RUSSIA is closely connected with the history of the Balkans. Our country has for centuries been considered a defender and protector of Slavic peoples in the Balkans, connected to them by shared cultural, linguistic, spiritual, and religious values, as well as by shared identity and civilizational roots. At the same time, Russia has never brought confrontation to the region, pursuing its policy in a purely constructive and friendly key, to the best of its ability countering the Westerners' course toward dragging the Balkans into the policy of dividing lines by promoting and inculcating anti-Russian elements.

IT IS TEN YEARS now since a Customs Union was established within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Community (EurAsEC): common systems of tariff and non-tariff regulation took effect on January 1, 2010, and a Customs Code that provided for the abolition of customs clearance of goods in mutual trade between Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia came into force on July 1, 2010. The entry into force of these key agreements formalized the common customs territory of the three states.

THE GLOBAL SPREAD of the novel coronavirus infection has irreversibly transformed world politics. Major international organizations cannot ignore these tectonic changes. The question is: How do we respond to them? Under what flag and with what slogans should we wage war against an unseen enemy? In more official terms: How should we qualify pandemic challenges, and what importance should we give them? How should we prioritize the distribution of international resources and efforts when fighting this and other pressing threats? After all, other problems do not disappear during pandemics. On the contrary, they become more acute, and the resources of states and international organizations are always limited.

THE EVENTS of summer 1940 in the Baltics remain the subject of largescale discussions at all levels - from classrooms to offices of heads of state. This is to be expected: "The basic trends of historical politics in the Baltic countries are the use by the political elites of administrative and legal instruments to consolidate the preferred 'versions of the past' as well as active political efforts at the interstate level to make the Baltic Versions of the past' part of the common European memory policies."1 I should say that these efforts were fairly successful. Late in the last century, Russia failed, for objective and subjective reasons, to present its interpretation of these historical events in their fullness. In the last decade, the situation changed

IN RECENT YEARS, an interest in the post-truth phenomenon has spread far and wide into political and other social sciences. On the whole, it is related to the process of psychological impact on human consciousness and subconsciousness, in the course of which people might radically change their opinion about any important social or political event that has already taken place. This happens under an impact of reinterpretation of previously disregarded events or their details. The public is offered interpretations that occupy information space and penetrate public consciousness; they are accompanied by fakes disguised as verified news, or inventions and rumors presented as versions, opinions of respected "experts," "fashionable" bloggers and journalists entrusted with the task of planting "post-truths" in the collective mind of target audiences and individual minds of each of its members. The collective opinion changed by "post-truth" might change individual positions of citizens.

Armen Oganesyan, Editor-in-Chief of International Affairs: While the coronavirus epidemic may not have turned the world upside down, problems building up in various spheres of human life have reached a critical mass under its impact. Naturally, the energy industry, as an important sector of the world economy, has felt its effects. It is not only that the dramatic drop in oil prices occurred at the peak of the epidemic. The thing is that for a very short historical period, the world has reached a point where we must answer many questions and address many challenges of a global nature.

RUSSIA established official relations with the Southern African Development Community (SADC) in March 1999 by appointing its then ambassador to Botswana, Valery Kalugin, as its official representative to SADC. This regional organization dates its history to 1980, when nine countries established what is known as the Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC) and is the forerunner of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). A declaration issued by the SADCC founding member countries and newly independent Namibia and a treaty signed by them established SADC in August 1992.

KARLOVY VARY, a spa in the Czech Republic, is well known in Russia: many visited it and even more heard about it. In the last couple of centuries, the share of Russians among those who came as patients and those who wanted to settle permanently remains fairly big. Its popularity among Russians goes back to the September 1711 visit of Russian Emperor Peter I to Carlsbad (the German name of this Czech city). It got its status and name in 1370 from Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, who, having injured his foot during hunting, immersed it in a natural reservoir of local mineral water and felt much better. Carlsbad in German means "Karl's hot spa," and Karlovy Vary in Czech means "Karl's Boiling Waters."
