EVERYBODY at some point gets a chance to prove their mettle. This is not a stroke of luck, but a tough challenge and difficult choice for everyone at their own level: in wisdom or simplicity, strength or weakness, health or infirmity, wealth or poverty - to choose to follow the straight and familiar path or to scale new heights. Only those who rise to the challenge leave their mark in history. William Averell Harriman was one such person: He sought out challenges and accepted them with boldness and determination. He never retreated from or skirted them.

| Summary/Abstract |
WITH each passing day of the special military operation of the Russian Army and the people's militias of the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) and Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), more evidence comes to light of genocide in Donbass committed by Ukrainian troops and of inhumane treatment of LPR and DPR civilians by [Ukrainian] nationalist volunteer battalions in the traditions of Nazi concentration camps. The picture of a war without rules and in complete disregard for international law that Ukraine was waging against some of its citizens is constantly acquiring new details: chemical waste burial sites near the Seversky Donets River showing that Ukraine used chemical weapons against part of its own population; US-financed military biological laboratories that, among other things, were developing biological weapons against the Slavic genotype; torture chambers of the Aydar and Tornado Ukrainian volunteer battalions

THE PARADIGM of international relations in the Persian Gulf in the 20th century was determined by the interests of major players: the US, Great Britain, the USSR, etc. At the same time, relations between the oil-producing monarchies of the region, for all their complexity and ambiguity, remained in the background. After the creation of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in the early 1980s, opportunities emerged for a serious integration process that could lead to the creation of a single economic space with a single currency and common governance structures. However, for a number of reasons - among which we will identify economic ones (similarity in export structure), dynastic ones (ambitions of the ruling families), and geopolitical ones (the desire of the US as the world hegemon to rule according to the "divide and rule" policy known since antiquity) - centripetal trends have given way to centrifugal ones. Moreover, the second decade of the 21st century as a whole was marked by the gradual departure of the main global player, the US, from the traditional doctrine of firm control to using "controlled chaos" tools to give regional players the opportunity to realize their own political ambitions, while the US mainly focused on protecting its key military, political, and economic interests.

AFTER the end of the Jassy-Chisinau operation that liberated Romania and Bulgaria in September 1944, Red Army units reached the border of the former Yugoslavia. On September 28, a major offensive began that resulted in the liberation of Belgrade on October 20. The offensive was followed by military operations to cross the Danube River and take and hold the bridgehead, known as the Battle of Batina (the biggest battle in Yugoslavia during World War II), and then battles on the Syrmian Front, which was broken in April 1945.

IN MARCH 2021, most UN member states recognized the special importance of protecting health care infrastructure from cyber threats. A point to that effect was included in the final report1 of the Open-ended Working Group (OEWG) on developments in the field of information and telecommunications in the context of international security, a negotiation format launched in 2018 on Russia's initiative. The report reflects progress achieved at the UN and in other formats during more than two decades of debate on cybersecurity and information security in general,2 but it was the first UN document to include a separate section on the health care aspect of international information security. The fact that the report was passed by a consensus vote is an indication of the importance of this issue.

THE NEXT presidential election in France, scheduled for April 10 and 24, 2022, should tell us whether there will be a change of leadership in the country or whether Emmanuel Macron will remain president. The situation today is fundamentally different compared to the previous election on April 23 and May 7, 2017, when Macron, although little-known among the general public at the time, was able to win primarily on account of his astute slogans. He positioned himself as a "modernizer" of the economy who would free private entrepreneurial initiative that had been stifled by excessive state regulation and create conditions for the country's timely joining of the "digital revolution." At the same time, he criticized capitalism, which had reached its final stage, for focusing too much on financial capital and too little on people.

IT SOMETIMES happens that history itself evaluates what a specific individual has done. A case in point is Igor Rogachev, a renowned Soviet and Russian diplomat who played a tremendous role in bolstering our country's positions in the Asia-Pacific region (APAC) and in reforming the former Soviet Union's, and subsequently Russia's, relations with China, where he served as the ambassador of the Russian Federation for 13 years.

AN INFLUENTIAL group of supporters has formed around expensive military projects, including missile defense projects. This group actively promotes the interests of both individual manufacturers and the program as a whole. The fact that information on US military policy is openly accessible to legislative and executive authorities, research centers, and the media reduces the power of unilateral lobbying in the interests of the military-industrial complex and individual state agencies.

| Summary/Abstract |
IMPERIAL chutzpah as a phenomenon of international relations has been known since antiquity. It stems from the fact that, as the great Ancient Greek philosopher Thucydides put it back in the 5th century BC: "The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must" [1]. Throughout history, the phenomenon of imperial insolence has invariably manifested itself in world politics and diplomacy as a destructive factor that has provoked wars, conflicts, and other calamities. However, one-sided gains and preferences that states on the road of imperial insolence expected to acquire (and did acquire) by disregarding the legitimate interests of other peoples and international security turned out to be fairly limited in the context of history and, in the final analysis, contributed to the downfall of the empire. Imperial arrogance, as embodied in American foreign policy, should never escape our attention and deserves very serious analysis. As an important factor of international relations, it should be resolutely rebuffed by any state that cherishes its sovereignty and seeks to preserve it.

INDIA traditionally sets high expectations for its diplomacy. This is to be expected in the country of Chanakya and Jawaharlal Nehru, and it is very encouraging. After all, throughout its 75 years of independence, India has been a significant actor in world affairs, supporting peace and cooperation. To Russia, India is a friend with whom there have never been quarrels, many of our key interests overlap, and significant mutual understanding has been achieved.

THE SITUATION in the information space is currently deteriorating - in fact, it is in a state of complete chaos. In this regard, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for International Cooperation on Information Security Andrey Krutskikh has rightly noted that there is an emergent need to create a certain set of "traffic rules" - i.e., a code of conduct in the international information sphere. International law is expected to play a regulating role in international relations. The issue of its applicability has been on the agenda of specialized UN agencies for more than a decade, starting with the Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) and the UN Open-ended Working Group (both groups completed their work last year), as well as the UN Open-ended Working Group (OEWG) on developments in the field of information and telecommunications in the context of international security 2021-2025, created on Russia's initiative. The mandate of this group reflects the applicability of international law on the basis of UN General Assembly Resolution 75/240.

INTEGRATION processes that are actively unfolding in the modern world cover a variety of areas of state activity. The most important role in stimulating these processes is played by international organizations, which act not only as an organizing principle, but also in a certain territorial form, facilitating the unification of the economic, political, and cultural potential of member states. One such interstate formation, widely known in the world and the most advanced in terms of integration, is the European Union (EU).

NATO's military expansion knows no bounds. After claiming that their military and political interests extend practically all over the globe and that they have a right to military action anywhere in the world they like, the leading member countries of the North Atlantic alliance have set out to establish military and technological supremacy in outer space.

THE CRISIS of the current model of capitalism is becoming especially stark against the backdrop of growing military and political tension in the world in which the use of military force has become a de facto legalized tool of interstate competition. The world is clearly entering a period of geoeconomics that relies on the use of force, while at the same time maintaining the classical agenda of late-stage globalization.

RUSSIA'S special military operation in Ukraine has generated an enormous surge of activity in the world media. Such a reaction was quite expected; this sort of phenomena occur from time to time. In scholarly literature, they are put in the more general category of media trends - a category involving studies of changes in the nature of media content on a certain topic within a specific period.1 This article examines reactions in the global online media to Russia's special operation and developments related to it. Our conclusions were based on how frequently Russia and Ukraine were mentioned in various segments of the Internet in February and March.
