08.05.2018 22:00 Mikhail Pashkov *: Foreign Policy Aspects of the Presidential Election Campaign in the Russian Federation

The presidential election campaign in Russia (if it can be called election in the generally accepted sense) has become the prologue to a new round of confrontation on the West-Russia axis, in fact, to a new phase of the cold war.

The Address of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to the Federal Assembly, surpassing his famous Munich speech in aggressiveness and confrontation, was a de facto pre-election programme in the form of a video ultimatum to the West. The March speech of the Russian leader dispelled all the illusory expectations of at least some liberal developments in domestic and foreign policy.

23.04.2018 18:00 Lev Gudkov*: Presidential Election 2018 in Russia: Context and Consequences.

The March "election" of V. Putin did not arouse much interest among Russians due to its predetermined outcome and deteriorated economic situation. During the autumn and winter of 2017-2018, only 17-18% of polled kept an eye on the course of the election campaign, others were indifferent. 51% of Russians believed that the upcoming election was an imitation of a political struggle a month before the voting day, only 35% called it "serious". The most skeptical towards the election were Muscovites and residents of megacities, a more informed and educated audience (here the share of skeptics rose to 69% versus 13% who considered the election a real political competition).

11.02.2018 22:00 Viktor Kiktenko*: RUSSIA-CHINA RELATIONS AND UKRAINIAN INTERESTS

Most of the western and Ukrainian politicians believe that China is a close ally of Russia, but this is not quite the case. It is necessary to understand clearly that China has its strategic interests in foreign relations and cooperates with various countries, if it is useful for China. Today's Russia-China relations include, first of all, cooperation in the production of weapons, raw materials, in international politics and even in the development of hybrid strategies against the military superiority of the West, joint military exercises (even in waters not far from NATO countries). 

11.02.2018 21:00 Andriy Honcharuk*: Eurasian Integration Projects of Russia and China: Comparative Analysis

Foreign policy doctrine and foreign economic efforts are based on ideological principles. At the moment, it makes no sense to consider in detail the ideology of Russia's foreign policy, since its aggressive imperial nature is already understood by the international community due to  actions of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, first of all, the annexation of the Ukrainian Crimea. Moreover, the words of the leadership of Russia and their actions not only diverge, but often contradict each other.

30.01.2018 08:00 Dr. Yury Fedorov*: Military Aspects of the Present Russia-China Relations

This brief statement will concentrate on a few key aspects of the China-Russia military relationship.

29.01.2018 16:00 Oleksandr Vasyliev: * Economic Aspects of Russia-China Relations.

The present day trends of globalization and integration in the world economy are characterized by the formation of an innovative economy, the intensification of global competition at the world investment markets, science-intensive goods and services. The close interrelationship between science and technology policy, foreign, and trade and economic policies is highlighted to ensure economic growth and the increase of social standards of the people. Exit from the global economic crisis is associated with a wave of innovations that pave the way for the emergence of new technologies. Today's systemic crisis should end in a few years, with the capital, available at that time, flowing to new technological setup productions. 

25.01.2018 09:00 Victor Gvozd *: Russia-China Relations in the Context of Global Security

Dear colleagues. The main objective of our meeting is to consider Russia-China relations, as well as assess their impact on the situation in the world, including  the context of global security. This issue is extremely important both in terms of a true understanding of the character of the key geopolitical processes of the global level and their significance for our nation under the conditions of continuing Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine.

 

24.01.2018 22:00 V. Ogryzko *: Introductory Address at the Conference "Russia and China: Current State and Development Prospects", 8 December, 2017.

Russia-China relations are important themselves, but they have not only a bilateral dimension. This is an important element of the future geopolitical landscape, which is already seen with objective inevitability.

While talking about the bilateral aspect of these relations, in my opinion, the thought of the famous Russian political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky is interesting:

"... China will definitely absorb Siberia and the Far East, but informally. There will be no annexation or occupation. Just at some point, a Russian man in the city of Khabarovsk would find out that seven Chinese fall on him alone. I think it will happen in 10-12 years. Today one and a half Chinese fall on one Russian … ".

11.12.2017 19:00 Alexander Bogomolov*: Russia going global again with the help of… Syria

While many, perhaps, would object to our title by saying that Russia’s interests in the region as well as its relations with a number of key regional actors, notably Syria, are in fact so long-standing that they even may be called ‘historic’, at no point since 1990s Russia had any semblance of the influence in the Middle Eastern affairs as it has suddenly acquired today. While for its archrival the United States the greater Middle East military campaigns of the last two decades appear to have brought more troubles than benefits, for Russia, so far, its contribution to the region’s most bloody current war have been a prudent political investment.

20.11.2017 23:00 Alvydas Medalinskas *: Middle East policy of Russia and the International Security

If Russia’s policy in Georgia in 2008 and in Ukraine, starting from 2014, had to show to the world that Russia is back, as a strong regional power in this part of Europe, so Russia’s actions in Syria was in some way a manifestation of claim that Russia is also the country with global foreign and security policy interests.

Everything started from Syria, because it was the only remaining place, where Russia had abroad, outside of CIS countries region, some military presence.
