1. The economy of the post-Soviet space becomes the factor of primarily concern when the post-Soviet space integration is involved, that which determines the dynamics of integration and Russia’s influence, by means of some economic sanctions, on the former USSR constituent countries. Today, Russia is a factual part of the world economic system, so it is involved in globalization and post-modernization of economy. To this effect, the network is being made with technological, information and socio-political sectors among others. All this is a challenge for Russia, which it should cease to ignore and bring about the civilized answer.
2. We have general single task while addressing the abovementioned and other similar situations - to go on with integrating the post-Soviet space economically. The next step is to introduce the single space into the global economic network, while having preserved the sovereign control over it. Our geopolitical opponents’ task is to integrate it into the global space part by part, with loss of the sovereignty and control. In this case, the terrorism and other forms would become our rival’s tool.
3. There are forces that equally wish either to close Russia up in isolation, or to integrate it into a world network with no means of control left. It is not that the Americans are bad guys. They just cannot let Russia control its part of the global network; that is why, to them, we are good just in the form of small nationalist chauvinistic entity, which by itself pushes away all its allies, or in the form of an obedient (to them), no-problem segment of the global world network. To them, there is no a third way, but is the third way that is right for Russia’s destiny – both integrating into the world economy and preserving the full strategic control over its segment in the post-Soviet space.
