1. The world power configuration under the US dominance that has developed after the Third World War, nevertheless seems to be transitive. Its subsequent outlines would become clearer while the American project of reorganizing the world is being realized, with the USSR repartition, subdividing Yugoslavia, the war in Iraq and its breaking, lunge to Afghanistan being just the first stage of the US global military-political operation. Washington, despite the obvious failures of its offensive in the Eurasian front, is determined to bring it to the logical ending, for one seemed to be inexcusably stupid not to take advantage of the opportunities given by the history itself.
2. Eurasia, where the majority of the mankind lives and where the bulk of the planet’s business activity is concentrated, gradually becomes the world economy centre of attraction. Russia, despite the deep crisis it suffers, still is the only and unique leader-state in all the post-Soviet space. Some analysts think, the condition of turmoil that had been cyclically repeating for all along its thousand-year history, and which Russia nowadays stays in, has not reached the ultimate stage yet.
3. Moscow is in need for a effective geopolitical policy line, some new political role with no birthmarks of the Soviet experience repeated, sprang out of internal needs and objectively developing world realities. Such a role, or rather, with no exaggeration, Russia’s historical mission is shown through the recently introduced new Eurasian strategy as the long-term, many-staged geopolitical project. It is prompted by strategic realism and by the fact that the USA, with all its advantages, have one structural problem – it is geographically far away from Eurasia.
