Sergey Karaganov is Professor Emeritus at the National Research University - Higher School of Economics in Moscow, an Academic Supervisor at the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs, and Honorary Chairman of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy. This essay draws extensively on a two-part article, originally published by Russia in Global Affairs. This version has been edited and modified with the author’s permission.
It is clear that the Anglo-Saxon industrial-military-media complex, with the help of its vassals, intends to preserve its global hegemony and its colonialist conquests at all costs. The Hegemon cannot accept the paradigm shift of an emerging Multipolar World. Any discussion of peace, diplomacy or negotiations regarding the wars it has started is out of the question. Western populations, whose minds are contaminated with neoliberalism and Russophobia, are currently terrified of an "imminent Russian invasion"… Mass delirium is preventing REASON from returning to the West. How can the rest of the world cope with this madness? And what can the rest of the world hope for?
Why is even speaking of negotiations with Ukraine dangerous for us? Who should we talk with and on what terms? Who is better―Trump or Biden? Why is Europe worse than America? Will the United States remain a great power and how many such powers will there be when the unipolar system collapses? Why are we hated not only by the Western elites but also by a significant number of people in their countries? Is there a way to ward off civil strife in the world that is breaking free from Western oppression? What are the real goals of the special military operation (SMO)? Do we need Central and Western Ukraine? How can the use of nuclear weapons save the world from World War III? Sergei Karaganov, Honorary Chairman of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, and Academic Supervisor at the HSE Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs speaks with Argumenty Nedeli Editor-in-Chief Andrei Uglanov on this and many other topics.
My previous article discussed the unprecedentedly dangerous situation in which we now find ourselves (Karaganov, 2024). In this article, I outline the new policies and priorities that Russia, as I believe, should adopt, building upon Russia’s National Security Strategy (2021) and especially its Foreign Policy Concept (2023).
In mid-June, I published an article titled “Nuclear weapons use can save humanity from global catastrophe” in Profil magazine. It was posted in Russian and in English almost simultaneously on the Russia in Global Affairs journal’s website. [1] It was widely reprinted around the world, sparking a tsunami of responses, objections, and debates, tens of thousands of reactions. There was also no shortage of words of support, either.
RIA Novosti has published an excerpt from an article by Sergei Karaganov, Honorary Chairman of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy. The full text of the article will appear in the journal Russia in Global Affairs.
Let me share a few thoughts which I have entertained for a long time and which took their final shape after the recent Assembly of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy that proved to be one of the most remarkable gatherings in its 31-year history.
Perhaps we should pay more attention to the development of human, scientific, and educational ties.
On 6 February, U.S. President Donald Trump said that, contrary to French President Emmanuel Macron, he would like denuclearization, and that he expected to start negotiations on it with Russia and China. However, Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said that “there have been no concrete negotiations on arms control between the Russian Federation and the United States, and there is no understanding as to when or where they will begin.” Political scientist and economist Sergei Karaganov explains why denuclearization is not desirable.
Tariq Marzbaan and Nora Hoppe hold another interview with Professor Sergei Karaganov, discussing the developments in Russia and the world, especially with the nuclear threat growing evermore present.
