When in the late 2000s I and a group of my young colleagues started working on  a project of Russia’s turn to the East (the idea was also vigorously proposed at the same time by future Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and his team), it implied the need to develop and use the advantages of the whole of Siberia and the Urals―a single historical, economic, and human region. However, it worked out differently: Turn 1 towards Asia and its markets was administratively executed mainly through Pacific Siberia, with the Arctic added to it later.
I have long been watching the world inexorably moving towards a wave of military conflicts threatening to develop into a third world thermonuclear war that can in all likelihood destroy human civilization. This prognosis was one of the main reasons why I published a series of articles about why it is necessary to restore the credibility of nuclear deterrence, which kept the world safe for more than fifty years.
Not so long ago, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said the European Union should be prepared for war by the end of the decade. Politicians in Berlin are talking about reintroducing mandatory military service and getting ready for confrontation with Moscow. Similar sentiments can be observed in Poland. But is it just because of the events in Ukraine? What is the reason for the dramatic increase in European conflict potential? Rossiyskaya Gazeta discusses it with international relations expert Sergei Karaganov, Honorary Chairman of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy.
We say Sergei Karaganov and imply a grandiose disturbance. We say a grandiose disturbance and mean Sergei Karaganov. The honorary chairman of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy is the flesh and blood of the Russian elite, a person whom the Russian President can publicly call by name, and who regularly sits next to Sergei Lavrov at various events. And this is also the man who has recently suggested the unthinkable―contemplating possible Russian nuclear strikes on NATO countries.
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.
The year that has passed since the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine, in fact of the hidden war, which the West has been waging covertly against Russia for about fifteen years and which Russia has simply brought into the open, needs assessment in terms of evaluating the results, reviewing the experience, and adjusting the objectives.
A new article of S.A. Karaganov " We Are Witnessing a New World in the Making" was published in "Rossiiskaya Gazeta", Federal issue #242(8890) in Russian language.
New article by Professor Karaganov "From the Non-West to the World Majority" was published in Russian language in "Russia in Global Affairs" magazine No. 5 (2022). Pp. 6-18. The english translation is attached.
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?
