20.11.2017 22:30 Alexander Shumilin*: The Russia’s Middle East policy: between the Soviet model and new realities

How to describe the current Russian Middle East policy? It’s common to hear, for example, that “Russia’s coming back to the Middle East as a Great Power” or “Russia has created a pole of attraction in the region, a new pole of strength”. The others say that “Russia has fallen in trap with its Middle East policy”.  To be short it depends on the optic to perceive the ongoing in the region. In other words we have to do with duality in perceptions and the ensued analysis. 

20.11.2017 22:00 Volodymyr Ohryzko*: Conference on the Middle East. Diplomatic Academy, 20.10.2017

First of all, I would like to congratulate Ambassador S. Korsunsky, who was appointed to head the Diplomatic Academy several days ago, and wish him every success in reforming such an important institution in the system of the diplomatic service of Ukraine.

Today, we have decided to discuss the Middle East issues and analyze the role of Russia in creating problems in the region.

17.08.2017 20:00 Semen Kabakaev *: Nuclear Arsenal of Russia: State of Tactical Nuclear Weapons and Their Tactical and Technical Characteristics.

I would probably like to divide my address into several blocks, and not to talk much about tactical and technical characteristics, but rather concentrate on the threats that exist for Ukraine and for us on the part of the Russian Federation.

08.07.2017 18:00 Yuri Barash*: Nuclear Arsenal of the Russian Federation: Situation in the Strategic Nuclear Force and its Tactical and Technical Characteristics

As indicated in the military doctrine of Russia, nuclear weapons remain a factor of preventing nuclear and conventional conflicts. The main contribution to the Russian deterrence potential is made by the Strategic Nuclear Force. This article will show the current state and prospects for the development of the Strategic Nuclear Force of Russia.

07.07.2017 18:00 Sinovets Polina*: Nuclear Weapons in the Military Doctrine of the Russian Federation: Evolution of Approaches to its Use.

The Russian national military strategy is formed under the influence of the attempts not to lose its influence at least in the nuclear sphere, in which it is a monopolist leader, with the account of nuclear potential accumulated during the Soviet years. In the beginning of 1990th having no sufficient funds for  maintenance of its nuclear  potential, Russia, in the language of nuclear deterrence, tries to reaffirm such its category, as the credibility of retaliation.

14.06.2017 13:00 Abstract. International conference “Russian Activeness in the Arctic: Goals, Vectors and Security Challenges” (Kyiv, 12 May, 2017)

After gaining independence by the Russian Federation, its Arctic policy was to a large extent the continuation of the policy of the Soviet Union and covered similar range of military-political issues, cooperation on the rational development of regional resources, environmental protection, the use of the Northern Sea Route for international shipping, etc. At the same time, unlike the Soviet period, activities in the Arctic region have gradually become one of the main vectors in the Russian domestic and foreign policy. Also, the significance that Moscow has given to each of the above areas of activity has also changed.

12.06.2017 12:00 M. Honchar: * Conflict of Economic Interests in the Arctic as Potentially Destabilizing Factor

First of all, I would like to draw your attention to one thing. You have the Black Sea Security magazine in your hands. Strategy XXI Centre for Global Studies has resumed production of this famous quarterly, published by the Nomos Centre in Sevastopol, where I had the honour to work from 2006 to 2014 (in fact, till the occupation of the Crimea). Dmytro Shtyblikov and Olexiy Bessarabov worked at the editorial office of this edition. Today is the 183rd day of their unlawful detention by the Russian FSB following the falsified charges in organizing acts of sabotage.

12.06.2017 10:00 Dr. Kristian Åtland*: The Building up of Russia’s Military Potential in the Arctic Region and Possible Elements of its Deterrence

The security environment in the Arctic has undergone significant changes in recent years, as have the dynamics of Russia’s relationship with its Western neighbors. Since 2008, Russia has invested heavily in the modernization of its armed forces. Many of the new capabilities, including some that are designed specifically for operations in the Arctic, were showcased at the Victory Day parade in Moscow earlier this week. The country’s military presence and activity in the Arctic has grown in scope, scale, and geographic reach. The military exercises are larger, more frequent, and more complex than before, and they often come with little or no advance notice. Russia’s military actions in other parts of the world, most notably in Ukraine since 2014, have had a distinctly negative impact on Russia’s relations with the West and created new security concerns also for the country’s northern neighbors. Within NATO, renewed attention is being paid to “the Russia factor” and to the emerging military security challenges on the northern flank of the Alliance.

24.05.2017 23:29 Anatoly Baronin*: Arctic component of Russian expansionism

Since the mid-2000s, Russian politics began to take more and more signs of neo-imperialism, accompanied by direct and indirect expansionist steps in foreign policy. The analysis of the Russian politics and projects in the Arctic shows that its implementation has objectives other than officially declared on the strategic doctrinal level. Corruption, political, symbolic and demographic factors are more significant in the system of Russian expansionism in the Arctic zone than economic ones. Thus, the policy of the Russian Federation in the Arctic should be especially considered in the context of internal and external political positioning of military-political leadership, their access to resources, budget allocation and investment finance, and management of electoral preferences within the state.
