Major Trends in Russian Geopolitics after 1991

Major Trends in Russian Geopolitics After 1991, “Politeja” 2019, nr 4, s. 141-160., 2019

Russian geopolitical thought after the collapse of the USSR can be classified in different ways. ... more Russian geopolitical thought after the collapse of the USSR can be classified in different ways. However, it always remains under the influence of the same conditions (the trauma of a historical downfall) and proposes clear indications for the foreign policy of the state. The article presents a preliminary view of some directions in Russian geopolitical thought from the point of view of their origin. The study focuses on seven trends: the visions of Great Russia in a multipolar world order, Neo-Eurasianism, the insular theory, military geo-politics, the thought of political geographers, the geopolitics of the Russian World doctrine with its varieties in the form of information geopolitics and cy-ber-geopolitics, and, last but not least, geoeconomics. A typological study of contemporary Russian geopolitical thought reveals two developmental tendencies: one aiming at radical and ideological concepts and the other proposing a semi-scientific approach.

The main problem of the book is the deconstruction of "natural order" (as portrayed in Hans-Hermann Hoppe's writings): the revolution is portrayed as an ideological carricature of the natural values that underlie the development of a society. The book also studies the possibility of another - nationalist revolution in contemporary Russia.

It makes an attempt to describe the rightists' journey from conservative and religious universalism to narrow-minded ethnic nationalism by means of the the analysis of the central stage of the process: the formation of conservative nationalism - a doctrine, which has already left the conservative coast but has not reached the racist or state-oriented fascism yet. The study of conservative nationalism goes through three stages. The first part describes the formation of conservative nationalism in the classical models worked out in France, Germany and Japan. Part two focuses on the most representative and historically consistent conservative nationalist country - Russia. The last part presents a case study of the political thought of Igor Shafarevich, a famous mathematician and prominent nationalist thinker of the 20th century.
The language of the text: Polish. However, comprehensive, 40-page abbreviations in English and Russian are added to the main text. The numbers in parentheses under the paragraphs of the abbreviations refer to the footnotes of the main text.

The Idea of War in Russian Political Thought after 1991

The aim of the study was to detect the most important models of this trend, taking into account the timeline of the Crimean events in 2014, and to attempt to explain its background in the absence of significant military threats to Russia from the international environment. Four main models of post-Soviet militarism have been distinguished: a) the rational model, pointing to the effects of military action in the modern world; b) the dualistic model of a clash between the traditionalist Russian civilization and the corrupt and expansionist West; c) the fatalistic concept of war as an inevitable aspect of the maturation of societies; d/the revivalist model, where war is treated as a device of social mobilization.

Russia’s Foreign Policy Priorities in Eurasia and Northern Africa After America’s Withdrawal from the Middle East: the Purport of Statements

In addition to the obsession with multipolarism, the imperative of defending the Russian population in eternally Russian territories sounded even clearer. Despite the obvious aggression in real behavior, the Kremlin's verbal propaganda portrays Western policy as the source of international problems and makes it responsible for the outbreak of war. This may indicate the validity of Mearsheimer's thesis that the presence of Russia's closest neighbors in the European Union, and even more so in NATO, is perceived in Moscow as an existential threat.

Demography as a security strategy factor in Poland and the Russian Federation

Demographics as a political topic has been increasingly more often exploited as a key theme in official narratives and practical policies. The similarities in the demographic dynamics in both countries, as well as conditional failures of demographic policies, may not necessarily result from evident mistakes, but are probably a result of a complex set of social factors, including the regularit ies of demographic development in the past. It is quite clear, however, that the Polish political narratives and declared set of state objectives concentrate rather on the social sphere, whereas the Russian rhetoric and policy are clearly more state oriented.

Russia’s Demographic Policy after 2000: Motivations, Solutions and Short-Term Results

The development of the Russian population since the Soviet era shows a steady tendency: the number of births in the regions inhabited by ethnic Russians is seriously declining, with an increase in regions inhabited by ethnic groups traditionally professing Islam. Remedial steps were already taken in the 1990s, but the turning point was 2007, when the regulations related to the introduction of Maternity Capital entered into force. Another important step was the initiation of the national project “Demography”, which significantly increased social assistance not only for families with children, but also for the older generation. The Maternity Capital policy positively correlates with the increase in births in the following years, however, after the Crimean events, the positive trend collapses and the birth rate shows a clear decreasing tendency. Undoubtedly, success has been achieved in extending life expectancy. The tendency of a definitely positive net migration is not retreating either. The long-term effect of these processes is the aging of the Russian society and the change of the ethnic structure towards an increase in the number of the country’s Muslim population. A significant population growth is observable in metropolitan cities as well as in tourist and agricultural regions of the South-West while peripheral and rural areas are dying out. The fact that despite legislative and organizational efforts the number of the Federation’s inhabitants is falling indicates the limited nature of social policies aimed at manual control of social processes.

Two Trends of Conservative Nationalism in Contemporary Poland: Foreign Policy Aspect

RUDN Journal of Political Science

On the other hand, the “Confederation”, the alternative right wing, with an even greater emphasis on sovereignty, is moving towards less conflicts with the country’s most important foreign partners. This article presents the foreign policy positions of the largest right-wing national populism movements in contemporary Poland. The authors analyzed the program documents of the leading right-wing populist groups, mainly of the United Right camp, over the past twenty years. The article highlights the main ideas and problematic points, including those regarding the relations with the European Union and the Russian Federation.

The Understanding of Human Rights in the Neo-Eurasianist Doctrine

Gumilev’s ethnological speculations during the Soviet era. Similarly to the oldest generation, Neo-Eurasianists, respond to the trauma of the lost empire in their thought: denying the leading position of the victorious competitor, they also deny the Western understanding of human rights. The polemic is conducted by a group of Russian visionaries, such as A. Panarin, A. Dugin, V. Korovin, as well as by much more pragmatic Kazakh theoreticians of law led by Z. Busurmanov. The Neo-Eurasianist narrative generally rejects the Lockean absolutization of inalienable individual’s rights and emphasizes the communitarian aspect instead. Russian Neo-Eurasianists blame the Western ideologists for treating human rights as a diplomatic weapon against foreign independent powers and try to present the liberal concept as a speculative idea. However, contrary to the Russian tradition, the...

Thanks to its presence in the institutional forms of close cooperation such as the CSTO, the Union State or the Eurasian Economic Union Minsk enjoys the openness of Russian market and very low prices of imported resources (especially crude oil and gas). What Moscow receives in return can be classified as a sort of intangible goods: greater prestige and a "friendly hegemonic" position in international relations. The balance of the game falls in favor of Lukashenko who takes advantage of his country's location between the Russian Federation and the EU: Moscow is permanently blackmailed with the possibility of Minsk's hypothetical turn toward the Western partners.

In the interwar period, when the idea of Russia-Eurasia was proposed by a group of emigrés such as N.S. Trubetzkoy and P. Savitsky, the motivating main factor probably boiled down to alienation and the need for compensation. That is why Eurasianism proposed such ideas as imperialism of any ideological color, the concept of an imaginary Eurasian nation, an ideocratic state and strong aversion to the domination of the Western world. Interwar Eurasianism and its later incarnations emphasize the essential role of the Horde in shaping the Russian state, which was also reflected in the theory of ethnogenesis created by L.N. Gumilyov, a Eurasianist of the Soviet period. Post-Soviet neo-Eurasianism focuses on the idea of historical revanchism (A.S. Panarin), geopolitics opposing the democratic and liberal Atlanticism to the Eurasian co...

An extreme expression of the idea that both these worlds are interdependent is environmental determinism. Moderate theories talk about proportional dependency of the characteristics of civilisation from natural conditions, or of civilisation as a response to the challenge of nature. An observation of particular communities shows the attachment of particular cultures to their primal environment. The creation of artificial environment is in turn conditioned by the laws of primal nature.
