1.) leading power(s) see the world and world history through the lens of good versus evil,
2.) assigning itself the role of prosecutor, judge, and executioner of world events, and
3.) domestic situation calls for an external enemy, this or that country would have to be
its enemy.
SO, WHAT SHOULD RUSSIA DO?
The following are still sound advices.
"First of all, it is necessary to ensure stability in the current zone of influence, which includes the
CSTO/EAEU, as well as Azerbaijan (the declaration of allied cooperation between Baku and Moscow
was signed on February 22, 2022), Georgia, and Syria; resolve the conflict in Ukraine; map out the future
and rebuild the economy of the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics. Six million people living in
Crimea and Donbass are of strategic importance to Russia. But it must be understood that there must be
no further expansion of Russia."
Russia needs to develop its economy and increase the share of trade and services. ...
Secondly, Russia should increase cooperation with China in all areas, including trade, transport, air, engine-
and ship-building, tourism, finance, and so on. A strong military-political alliance with China, by analogy with
NATO, is unlikely and does not create significant “added value” either for Moscow or Beijing. ...
Thirdly, it is imperative to develop relations with countries that seek to pursue independent policies in certain
regions of the world and have sufficient potential for this. The key ones are India, Turkey, Argentina, Brazil,
Iran, Egypt, Mexico, and Vietnam.
At the same time, we must clearly understand that there is no end of history or any single scenario and there
can be none. "
