Traffic in arms. Suppliers and buyers

  • Autor: Pavel Usov, 12.11.2008

States, nations and humankind used to put and still put the greatest effort possible into manufacturing and selling arms for mutual destruction. It seems as if the world’s states were continually prepared for a war with an unknown enemy. Every year, approximately 8 million pieces of light weapons and 12 billion cartridges are produced around the world. According to statistics, one gun falls on ten world’s inhabitants. Thousand people…

Belarusian “non-elections”

  • Autor: Pavel Usov, 08.10.2008

Parliamentary elections in Belarus have come to an end and the Opposition has lost again, as it was to be expected. However, this time it wasn’t just a political defeat. It lost also from the psychological point of view since it relied on the authority’s statements and believed President Aleksandr Lukashenko’s vague pledges that fair elections would be held. Lukashenko gave the representatives of opposition parties as well as independent candidates no chance to fill…

New geopolitical horizons for Belarusian regime

  • Autor: Pavel Usov, 27.09.2008

It seams that the “policy of flirting”, which the Belarusian regime has pursued towards the West for a long time, has started to bear fruit. However, it doesn’t mean that the era of democratisation or liberalisation begins in Belarus or that the authority starts to fulfil political demands towards the improvement of situation in the field of human rights. Most probably, it won’t be possible to speak of any democratisation in the country in the course of next years at all. In view of the current state of relations…

War and peace – possible scenarios

  • Autor: Pavel Usov, 05.09.2008

Who started the recent war in South Ossetia and why? Answers to these questions are unequivocal and simultaneously complicated. From many points of view, these answers depend not on the state of our knowledge, but on information sources which we use. Meanwhile, only one thing is clear. The US and Russia are indisputably involved in this small war to the same extent. However…

Geoenergy policy of the EU as a possible basis for new geopolitical doctrine

  • Autor: Pavel Usov, 08.08.2008

Irrespective of its economic potential and political prospects, the European Union (EU) remains a weak geopolitical player with plenty of conflicting national interests and geostrategic priorities. These discrepancies cause that all European Council’s attempts to set a cohesive geopolitical course and joint foreign policy have failed. The EU cannot exist as a united suprastate whole without this. As long…

The military and geopolitical doctrine of Russia: new perspectives or the rebirth of an empire?

  • Autor: Pavel Usov, 06.06.2008

Speculations about what’s Russia at present and what it wants to be in the future raise many questions. The answers, however, don’t pertain only to Russian geopolitical future, but also to the future of the entire world in the course of next ten years. It remains a fact that Russia weathered the period of internal political destabilisation and a partial state dissolution. The ruling regime has been consolidated….

2008 parliamentary elections in Belarus: the way towards a change

  • Autor: Pavel Usov, 29.04.2008

Last presidential elections in Belarus were a significant test not only for the society and opposition, but first and foremost for Lukashenko’s regime. The events of the presidential campaign showed that Lukashenko didn’t plan to play democracy and accede to minimum concessions to the opposition. The campaign turned into mass cleansing aimed against the whole democratic community and against…

Loyal President

  • Autor: Pavel Usov, 28.02.2008

Nothing unpredictable has happened. Putin hasn’t amended the constitution. He neither held a referendum nor continued in his office. And finally he has appointed his successor. The question “who is going to fill the top post in the Kremlin” isn’t burning any longer. Nevertheless, analysts keep on discussing about the way in which Putin plans to supervise his successor. It’s not a secret that Vladimir Vladimirovich…

Anyway, they draw the attention of those who are interested in political processes and the history of this country. The majority of political analysts and observers assume that the oncoming parliamentary as well as presidential elections won’t carry unexpected results. According to them they will be under way…

Mir vokrug Rossii: 2017. Kontury nedalekogo budushchego

Current world is developing rather quickly, so quickly that people are often unable to analyze events, current international situation, substance of conflicts and wars, of new geopolitical alliances and of geostrategic placement of forces. Although media draw nearer distant events and create a possibility to gain up-to-date information about…
