Interaction of the participating countries within the framework of the CSTO
The Collective Security Treaty Organization is a regional security organization established by the former Soviet republics to respond to security threats in surrounding areas. This article examines the typologies and interactions of the participating states within the Collective Security Treaty Organization. The mechanisms and features of cooperation in the organization headed by Russia and Russian elements are characterized. As part of the study, four main parts were considered: the first part is the prehistory of creation after the collapse of the USSR, the second is the influence of the United States as a factor in the creation of the Organization after the events of September 11, 2001, the third is the CSTO cooperation projects, the fourth is new security threats. Changes in the system and functions of the CSTO have been identified. With the help, through the prism of these four aspects, the process of transforming the CSTO from an inefficient structure into a multifunctional security organization was shown.
