Sergey Ryabkov, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia
The political striptease that we are seeing against the background of the coronavirus pandemic is unattractive, I want to turn away
The United States, despite the unprecedented nature of the challenge facing them and the uniqueness of the situation faced by the entire world community, is unable to abandon its own ideas that only they are always right in everything. The international community should always follow American signals, and calling things by their proper names, obey what is formulated in Washington. The unwillingness of Americans, their unwillingness, inability to overcome this own political and psychological barrier, looking at themselves from the outside, is probably one of the first lessons that can be learned from the crisis associated with COVID-19.
Keywords: pandemic, WHO, USA, assistance to Russia, global crisis.

China - USA: prospects for exiting the trade war

India's New Frontiers
India is a self-sufficient quantity on the global stage, and it will never become anyone's junior partner. With a population of almost 1.5 billion and being located at the junction of several regions of global strategic importance, India sees itself as one of the world centers and therefore a unipolar world order and alliances restricting the freedom of action of each of their participants are unacceptable for it.
Keywords: India - Russia, outsourcing, Indian Diaspora, Indo-Pacific region.

MILESTONES OF HISTORY
Yuri Bulatov
The Bessarabian scenario of Emperor Alexander I
In 1813, the House of Romanov did not consider the entry of Bessarabia into Russia as another acquisition of a new territory. The territory between the rivers of the Prut and the Dniester during the reign of the first Rurikovich in Russia in the IX-XII centuries was part of the Old Russian state. It is obvious that the Romanovs regarded the annexation of Bessarabia to Russia as its reunification with the Motherland.
Keywords: Russian state, Bessarabia, Pruto-Dniester region.
