Reborn Russia

After the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, Russia and Russian studies including Russian language, culture and history became for a long time not very popular fields of study as well as occupations in the West compared to the Cold War (1949).−1989. G). The reason for this trend was the deep belief in the West that it simply "ended" with Russia as a great power after the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the disappearance of both the USSR (Soviet Russia) and the Warsaw Pact. However, geopolitical strategists in the West and primarily in NATO and the Pentagon have overlooked one thing: the Soviet Union has disappeared, but not Russia itself, which has been since 2000.- and experienced a constant military-political and economic-financial renaissance after the disastrous years (decade) of Boris Yeltsin's rule and his Euro-Atlantic liberals. It was believed after 1991.- Mr. that Russia's influence in world politics and international relations has been definitively eliminated and, therefore, Western universities have abolished chairs, programs and Centers for the study of Russian culture, language and history as practically unnecessary in the geopolitical sense.      

The overall World socio-historical development so far has shown us several legislatures, regardless of all the imbalances and turbulences that it was accompanied by. Even in our studies, despite the still vibrant post-Tito state, we were taught that the only true path to socio-historical development is evolution, not revolution, with all its problems and illogicities that it inevitably carries with it. Then, for a long time, in my master's thesis, I dealt with the second legality, i.e. the impossibility and unreality of skipping the stages of Social Development (slavery, feudalism, capitalism, socialism), which, as a rule, bring about an inevitable reversible process, i.e. a return to an earlier stage. I was based on, then very popular, developing countries, although later this legality was confirmed, not only in US, but also in developed, at that period, socialist countries. In parallel with this thesis, I was also preoccupied with the very challenging process of convergence, that is, the permeation, the stage of socio-historical development, which later proved to be another of the important legalities of this process. With the set, of course, we, the elderly, in the 1980s and 1990s, were able to follow the sad collapse of socialism at the time, which was most reflected in the economic field, and the glittering victory of Western capitalism, so we wondered where we went wrong, persistently following Marx.
