They did not want to take into account that the victory in the Cold War came to them not thanks to a systemic victory over a geopolitical opponent, but only at the cost of the betrayal of the Soviet elite.
Believing
in their uniqueness, in practice they showed their inability to cope with the
challenges of the era. They showed that they can only multiply crises and
conflicts, and not solve them. This is very dangerous in modern conditions,
when the system of the post-war world order built following the results of the
Yalta conference in February 1945 is bursting at the seams. This approach of
the United States and its allied Western countries is fraught with serious
threats to international security.
Stanislav
Ivanov, a leading researcher at the Institute of World Economy and
International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Candidate of
Historical Sciences, writes in the article "Regional conflicts in the
post-Soviet space and the role of Russia in their settlement":
international relations with Iran, North Korea, Syria, their inability to
resolve the issue of the vacuum of power in Somalia, to normalize the situation
in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, to peacefully resolve the key problems of our
time (Palestinian, Kurdish, Kashmir, Cypriot, etc.) in the conditions of
acceleration scientific and technological progress and increasing the role of
the human factor can lead to unpredictable catastrophic consequences.
The further
spread of WMD, nuclear and other dual-use technologies throughout the world,
their falling into the hands of the leaders of totalitarian regimes, not
controlled by states of military-political groups, criminal organizations such
as Al-Qaeda, individual terrorists, and mentally ill people is becoming more
and more dangerous. The disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant on April
26, 1986 in the USSR and the large-scale terrorist attack on September 11, 2001
in the United States have clearly demonstrated the vulnerability of our civilization
to the actions of even a small group of people. "
Against
this background, the role of Russia in the settlement of international
conflicts has noticeably increased in recent years. This significantly improved
the global security situation, which made it possible to save hundreds of
thousands of human lives in different countries, in particular in Syria, where
the hordes of international terrorists that have been pretty thinned out by
Russia are no longer able to kill the civilian population of the Arab republic
on the same scale.
As other
serious examples, one can rightfully name the compulsion of Georgia to peace in
2008, the conflicts in Bosnia, in Kosovo (Serbia), and, of course, the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which also does not allow itself to be forgotten.
This is the most difficult conflict because it has been going on for many
decades. And the most recent example: the introduction of Russian peacekeepers
into the zone of the most lightning and fierce full-scale war in the past ten
years for the possession of Nagorno-Karabakh and eight regions of Azerbaijan
outside of it, which have been controlled by the Armenian side since 1994.
This speaks
of the confidence of the parties to the conflicts in the Russian Federation. Here,
of course, we are not talking about the trust of terrorist organizations,
because in principle it is impossible to negotiate with them. However, when in
the Syrian conflict it is a question of reconciliation with the government side
of armed detachments disoriented by terrorist propaganda that have not stained
themselves with too bloody crimes, the Russian Reconciliation Centers of the
warring parties are very effectively coping with this difficult diplomatic
task.
Zahra
Soleimanipur writes in the article "The growing importance of Russia in
the settlement of international conflicts" in the Iranian newspaper
"Iras": "The serious approach and persistence of Russia in the
settlement of international crises, which can be interpreted as a kind of
implementation of the tactics of mediation war, demonstrate not only the
importance of those countries in which these crises occur, but also the
increased authority of Moscow at the global level.Analyzing various
international crises and the role of Russia in them, it seems that its success
in solving these problems depends entirely on its own international prestige. Russia
in the late 90s of the last century. "
Russia's
diplomatic role in conflict resolution is generally recognized. There are
several reasons for this. But the most important of them are three: scrupulous
research work precedes Russia's peacekeeping efforts. Russian experts study the
history of the issue in its entirety. This is largely facilitated by the
high-quality work of research regional and regional scientific institutions in
Russia itself.
Then they
study the real needs and requirements of the parties and the conditions for a
lasting peace. And, finally, they offer the participants in conflicts a way out
that would take into account the interests of all. It is precisely honesty,
objectivity and a conscientious approach, the desire for a just settlement of
international conflicts that underlie the success of Russian foreign policy and
its high international prestige.
And most importantly, Russia is interested in settling international conflicts.
