New Generations of Russia's Foreign Policy Doctrines
In the period 1992-2013, the Russian side attempted to construct world unipolarity by abandoning the "Soviet". This was accompanied by the stylization of declarations under documents designed in the liberal-democratic spirit of the West. But since 2014, the revival of the Russian historical and political image of the European-Asian world power has begun.

The United States of America: the beginning of the end of a great Power
More and more countries are coming to the conclusion that the United States is the largest terrorist State, as evidenced by their excessive use of armed forces in international politics.

After Afghanistan. The United States sums up the results of the 20-year war
For at least the last 80 years of history, the United States could not help but conflict with someone. In 2021, US President J.Biden decided to reverse this trend by withdrawing his troops from Afghanistan, where they were bogged down in the swamp of a hopeless war, seemingly with an already defeated invisible enemy. It remained only to summarize what had been done and draw conclusions for the future.

The policy of outsourcing intelligence services in the United States
Edward Snowden's escape to Russia opened the eyes of most people to the functioning of the US state security system.

While at its foundation, a huge industry of private intelligence companies has formed.

About the Far Eastern Center of the World Economy
According to the latest statistics, a group of states consisting of China, Japan and the Republic of Korea is being formed in East Asia, which are comparable in their economic characteristics to the collective West.
