Some of the republics are still in the formative stage and the path selection (Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia). Particularly dramatic situation in Ukraine. In this region, which is the ancestral home of all the Russian lands, the current leadership taken against the will of its own people an unprecedented effort to reorient the vector of foreign policy from its traditional pro-American pro on. Contrary to popular wisdom that the horses in midstream do not change. To anything other than a split of the country, such a policy can not lead. And it seems that the current government of Ukraine does in order to achieve such a result is possible and beyond. Russia, however, 'Refresher' after the dismemberment of living in an enormous country and getting rid of imperial ambitions, utopian illusions and unnecessary burdens, rapidly went up the hill, showing excellent growth.

The Russian elite has been able to consolidate, to prevent the disintegration of the country and lead it towards an accelerated pace of development. Strong leadership talent, vast resources and favorable external environment allows a high degree of likely to predict that over the next couple of decades, Russia will again take the world 'table of ranks' position close to its economic and political significance to the one that held the Soviet Union.

And although the author Frankly, that set out the information they are based solely on hearsay, I ask, why did they have nothing to unconfirmed rumors spread to the wider Russian audience? On the other hand, what basis the author qualifies the official policy of the Russian leadership and the efforts of the Russian Foreign Ministry, aimed at eradicating the terrorist threat, including coming from the territory Afghanistan as a "ritual repetition of Russian officials, the diplomatic" mantra "about the need to support the efforts of the international community in its relentless struggle against terrorism in Afghanistan and Pakistan? " For their part, many years engaged in the Afghan-themed and carefully keeping track of all the changes occurring today in Afghanistan and around it, I dare say that Russia's policy in respect of the Taliban movement, which led in 2001. their country on the brink of national disaster, remains unchanged.

Georgia

A report on the CAT 'Lars' on Security Council was to make foreign minister Vashadze. The meeting was attended by representatives of the government was expected, parliamentary opposition, as well as leaders of some non-parliamentary opposition parties. What a reach as a result of the Georgian authorities in the matter of the Upper Lars, soon to be known. But just a remarkable fact. However, there are other background things that cause or doubts or concerns.

The question is: Why Georgia urgently needed to "overtrain" a riot – that American, British, Israeli military experts so badly worked hard anything they have not learned to Georgian special forces? And now in Tbilisi hopes on the Turkish Special Forces help? Thus, according to an unnamed source in the Russian intelligence services, Tbilisi appealed to Ankara to assist in formation of special operations forces.
