Russia as Germany's historical partner. This means that Russia should probably insist on
the idea of a single economic and humanitarian space from Lisbon to Vladivostok through
a free trade zone between the EU and EurAsEC, among other instruments.
Transformation of cultural awareness of German society under pressure of American
standards is another important factor which affects the status of the FRG in the system
of international relations.
Russia needs strong Germany to balance out other powers. Let us hope that in the long-
term perspective Germany will finally disprove the cliché of former U.S. Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger: "An economic giant but a political dwarf."
