AMID the coronavirus pandemic and an unprecedented presidential campaign in the US, the 60th anniversary of the Russian-American Dartmouth Conference went unnoticed. Yet, it would seem that this time-tested tool of citizen diplomacy, or "Track II diplomacy," is needed now more than ever in the past 30 years. The book Breaking Barriers in United States-Russia Relations: The Power and Promise of Citizen Diplomacy* - written by Philip Stewart, the American co-chair of the Dartmouth Conference, and published in Russian by Aspect Press - is filling this gap. The book is dedicated to Harold Saunders, a former US Assistant Secretary of State instrumental in advancing civil diplomacy, and Yevgeny Primakov, who himself first attended the Dartmouth Conference in 1971 and with whose blessing the event resumed in 2014, after a 24-year hiatus.

TODAY, we can hardly overestimate the role of integration communities in strengthening the safeguards of human rights and freedoms that are constantly being tested, challenged and threatened in our turbulent world. The Council of Europe, established on May 5, 1949, in response to the disastrous shocks of World War Two caused primarily by massive and cynical violations and even destruction of human rights, plays the leading role on the European continent. It remains the most respected international entity for setting standards for the rule of law, human rights, democratic development and cultural interaction.

A YEAR AGO, the leaders of Russia, France, Germany and Ukraine met in Paris to discuss and establish certain agreements for resolving the conflict in Ukraine. The "Normandy Format" meeting at such a high level suggested an impending breakthrough of the impasse in the southeastern Ukraine, but the Ukrainian side backpedaled once again, abandoning the already signed agreements. The civil war in Ukraine is still a bone of contention between Russia and Europe, affecting the security of the entire European region. The domestic conflict continues to destroy the Ukrainian state and economy while further splintering the country's population. What's next for Ukraine and the Donbass? To what extent is the Minsk process working for its participants?

THE FIRST mentions of the Arctic date back to the 4th century BC, during the development of sea navigation.1 The origins of the word "Arctic" stem from the Greek "ἀρκτικός" (pronounced "arktikos" and meaning "northern") and άρκτος ("bear," associated with the constellation Ursa Major). It refers to the lands located under this constellation. This physical and geographical region of the Earth, with climatic conditions that make it difficult to sustain life, is an integral part of the surface of the globe. Adjacent to the North Pole, it encompasses the circumpolar expanse whose inner radius includes the seas of the Arctic Ocean, its islands and archipelagos, as well as coastal territories of the surrounding three continents: Europe, Asia and North America.

THE YEAR 2020 left behind difficult memories and numerous questions about the future. It was the year of the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory, and the establishment of the Yalta-Potsdam system of international relations, the UN and UNESCO - a milestone year highlighting the mounting danger of global confrontation. It was a year of discoveries and losses, of desperation and hope in battling the coronavirus, an economic crisis and conflicts. It was a time when humankind shed false ideas and turned to human life as the supreme value, only to discover that neither states nor international organizations could protect it effectually.

First, this year we can draw a certain tentative line marking the end of an entire decade-long phase in the development of digital diplomacy and draw initial conclusions. The concept of digital diplomacy gained currency 10 years ago, in September 2010. This was the result of a document prepared by the US Department of State titled "IT Strategic Plan: Fiscal Years 2011-2013 - Digital Diplomacy," which defined digital diplomacy as the use of social networks in US diplomacy. At the same time, the terms Twiplomacy and Twitter Revolution were introduced, owing to the accelerated development of information and communications technology and the growing popularity of social networks. Finally, the US Department of State formulated the conceptual framework and methodological foundations of Internet Diplomacy, and formed a special department to supervise this type of public diplomacy.

HAVING barely recovered from the shock caused by the election of a nondemocratic candidate as the 45th US president, the Russian academic and expert community, where only avowed "optimists" had bet on a Trump victory, began searching for reasons and explanations for what had just happened. During Donald Trump's term in the White House, a record number of scholarly and quasi-scholarly works were published in Russian. However, most of them were narrowly focused on specific aspects of US affairs, and American domestic and foreign policy, or were separate chapters on the US in studies that lacked regional focus.
