On August 28, the Center for Geostrategic Studies organized an international conference on the topic of violations of religious rights, with a special focus on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) in the context of current events. The conference was held in the Press Center of the Association of Journalists of Serbia, in the center of Belgrade.

„In Ukraine, in front of the eyes of the entire world community, the Ukrainian authorities are destroying the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. This is a joint action of the Zelensky regime and the OCU (Orthodox Church of Ukraine), which is under the patronage of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, as well as Patriarch Bartholomew himself. Temples were confiscated and the clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church were subjected to violence and persecution. We are witnessing the violent seizure of one of the oldest centers of the Orthodox world, the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra and its shrines“, stated the organizers of the conference.

Introduction 

It can be indicated from a historical viewpoint that the USA emerged on the stage of global (world) politics in 1867 (four years before Germany did the same in 1871 after the Franco−Prussian War of 1870−1871). Both these imperial states at the same time exerted extremely influential politics in the process of radical transformation of the modern world both in Europe and outside of the Old Continent. In 1867, Washington purchased Alaska from Russia (regardless of the claims that Russia just rented Alaska for 99 years), and in April 1917, the USA entered the Great War on the side of France and the UK (after the Russian February/March Revolution in 1917) and brought about a decisive defeat of the German Second Empire on the Western Front in the Autumn of 1918 making at the same time as a direct consequence itself the global greatest power.

The “Black Continent” of Africa until the end of the eighth decade of the 19^th century was not properly known territory, especially its central parts which have been unknown to the Europeans. The West European powers until the 1880s were acquainted mainly with the African littorals and their immediate hinterland. However, what was inside the continent was not exactly known except for the existence of some tribal state organizations in the form of monarchies settled by traditional hunting people.

The period from 1462 to 1815 is of special importance for the history of Russia and the Russian people as well as for the history of Eurasia for at least five good reasons: 1) Russia became modernized according to the European pattern; 2) Russia became liberated from the foreign occupants; 3) The Russian people became territorially united into a single national state; 4) Eurasia experienced Russian territorial expansion in all directions from its original administrative center in Moscow and later St Petersburg; and finally 5) Russia as the mighty empire became a member of European concert of Great Powers and even the most powerful state in Eurasia after the Napoleonic Wars.

У модерној политичкој теорији савремени политички системи названи су постдемократија. (Колин Крауч, Жак Рансијер, Шелдон Волин, Питер Меир и др.). У таквим системима власт је у рукама економских елита, а периодични избори су обична фарса чији је циљ да се економска моћ пренесе и у политичку и сваку другу сферу друштвеног живата. У западним друштвима главни субјекти политичких процеса су политизоване крупне корпорације, појединачни грађани су разбијени, изоловани, обесхрабрени да се међусобно организују. У Србији полуге моћи држе амбасадори великих сила и представници међународних финансијских организација, они владају преко домаћих странака, којима омогућавају да контролишу државни апарат све док служе њиховим интересима.
