A View by a Russian Conservative: "Outlines of the <i>Big Game </i>and the <i>End of History"</i>
«The events of the late 20th century left Russia isolated in the northern end of Eurasia but even in that capacity it still has a huge potential in terms of influence on global politics and economy. Yet, in order to take part in this <i>big game </i>as a subject rather than an object, that is to have the position not of South Korea but of at least North Korea, some strange stereotypes that have developed in recent years should be revised. One of them is that economy breeds politics. In the modern era, it will be politics that will define, moreover, form economic processes.»
