The long echo of the Beirut explosion
The main reason for the economic collapse of Lebanon is the collapse of the banking system of the state, which was once compared to the Swiss in its stability. The center of this system is the Bank of Lebanon, whose capital belongs to the Government. It is its head, Riad Salame, who has been in office for 28 years, who is accused of state bankruptcy. But the question of his resignation is not raised, apparently due to the support that the banker enjoys in international financial circles.

Transport corridors. The geopolitical aspect
Considering transport corridors in the context of the manifestation of the global trend of "interconnectedness", it is necessary to recognize them as a qualitatively different phenomenon in comparison with traditional transport routes, which, in the course of infrastructure improvement, contributed to the deepening of interaction between countries and peoples and the territorial division of labor.

Kremlin vs Elysee Palace: the struggle for Africa?
Large-scale political shifts are currently taking place in West and Central Africa. France is losing ground in those African states that were its colonies in the past, although it still considers them an indisputable sphere of its influence. And this is no longer a one-way street. The African countries themselves are trying to move away from the traditional schemes of focusing on one donor, sponsor, patron and expand the horizons of interaction.

Ukrainian Nationalism in the Russian Empire and on its ruins
The problems of finding the Little Russian provinces as part of the Russian Empire, as well as the disintegration of this state into separate parts under nationalist slogans, are still given less space in the information field, despite the good study of this topic by specialists. At the same time, the Little Russian theme seems to be no less important for understanding the nature of Ukrainian nationalism, which prevents the reintegration of Ukraine with Russia.

The influence of the historical policy of the Baltic States on relations between Russia and the European Union
Archival documents confirm that the provisional Government of Lithuania, formed after the arrival of the Wehrmacht on the territory of the republic in the summer of 1941, sought active cooperation with the new occupation administration. It is known for certain how fighters of Lithuanian police battalions participated in punitive actions against Jews. In Estonia and Latvia, in turn, SS legions were formed that fought on the side of Nazi Germany.

Moldovan-Romanian relations at the stages of history and modernity
The process of integration of Romania and Moldova during the presidency of M. Sandu went at an accelerated pace. But doubts remain that both countries will unite in the near future. The reason for this lies primarily in the economic insolvency of Romania itself, the weakness of its economy and the insignificant place it occupies in the EU hierarchy.
