Doomed to remain a great power

Article Abstract:

Russia has reemerged as a force in its own right whose interests sometimes diverge from Europe's and with a unique perspective on the war in former Yugoslavia. Together with debate on enlargement of NATO and the Commonwealth of Independent States' development into a military/political bloc, that has shaped the ambitions of Russia's interior, clashing powers. Russia wants to be a natural participant in dialogues on NATO's activities, and it hopes the handling of Serbs outside Serbia can apply to Russians outside Russia.

Russia: geopolitics and crime

Article Abstract:

Russia's confused state is dictated largely by the twin issues of statehood and privatization, which pit state power against state purpose. Leading government arms, such as the KGB, are increasingly entangled in commercial enterprises that entail different agendas. Connections continue to dominate Russian business, as does a large and growing criminal element that has serious implications for national security. Russia's internal and international power are increasingly difficult to separate.

Robbing Russia?

Article Abstract:

The collapse of communism in Russia has introduced oligarchic capitalists to power, with seven financiers known as the Group of Seven controling 50% of the country's natural resources. Their goals are to consolidate control and to achieve economic dominance. In addition to controlling economic interests, they also control the power of information through telecommunication, print and broadcast media holdings.
