In late April 1997, the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute hosted its Eighth Annual Strategy Conference. The topic for this year's conference was Russia's Future as a World Power. The concluding panel for this conference, The United States and Russia into the 21st Century, included the following two papers. In the first essay, Beyond the Cold War: Change and Continuity in U.S.-Russian Relations, Dr. R. Craig Nation argues that, for the United States, the primary challenge is to adjust to a post-Cold War world where it is difficult to justify traditional exercises of power in the absence of any imminent threat. But, for the United States, the trauma of readjustment has been mostly confined to the American defense industry and the military services themselves; and the adjustments that are being undertaken have occurred in the midst of an economy enjoying an exceptionally long and steady growth. For Russia, however, the demise of the Soviet Union was a event of unparalleled historical precedent. In the span of a few years, what was once an awesome empire, one whose interests were defended by armed forces of tremendous size and quality, fractured. Left was a truncated state, undergoing massive economic upheaval. With the exception of its armed forces and nuclear capabilities, Russia poses dangers to only a very few immediate neighbors. Dr. Nation traces the attempts of both states to come to terms with Russia's new status and to establish a new relationship. He concludes that neither a purely cooperative nor inevitably antagonistic pattern will characterize their turn-of-the- century interaction. Instead, we should anticipate a hybrid model as Russia defines its national interests through its own prism. In the second essay, American Policy Towards Russia: Framework for Analysis and Guide to Action, Dr. Michael McFaul maintains that, while Russia may be temporarily in decline, its sheer size, natural resources, educated populace, and strategic location ; https://press.armywarcollege.edu/monographs/1178/thumbnail.jpg

Africa, a promising continent with political clout, is a strategic region that has caught the attention of foreign powers over the years. Notable among these foreign powers is the Russian Federation, the successor state of the defunct Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Following the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, Russia-Africa relations receded owing to the dwindling economy of Russia, not forgetting that Africa was no longer considered a strategic region to Russia. Today, Russia with a rekindled interest in Africa is pursuing among other things, economic, military, and diplomatic relations with African countries. Much as this is a welcome development in the African continent, the multifaceted relations between Moscow and the capital of many African states have been labelled by some in the West as 'predatory'. The objective of this study is to ascertain if RussoAfrican relations in the 21st century have been symbiotic or predatory. The paper adopts the historical approach, and data were garnered from secondary sources. Theoretically, Constructivism was employed to throw light on Russia-Africa relationship since the 2000s. The paper concludes that though unpleasant instances are conspicuous in their multifaceted relations, it can safely be said that Russo-African relations in the new millennium have to a great extent been mutually beneficial

In modern Russia, the memory of the Cossacks is perpetuated in monuments and museum exhibitions; their culture and history are described in school textbooks, including specialized ones; some regions open special Cossack classes; and hundreds of social media groups discuss the history of the Cossacks. Central and regional authorities as well as Cossack organizations, both official and unofficial, take an active part in the politics of remembering the Cossacks. However, there are practically no specialized studies exploring memory politics regarding the Cossacks. Nevertheless, this topic deserves attention and careful analysis not only because a variety of intensive processes are taking place in this area, but also because this case has a number of specific features and allows one to take a fresh look at some dichotomies widely used in memory studies such as victim and heroic narratives, official and unofficial memory, and local and national memory politics.

The principal objective of the article is to increase awareness about current trends in civic education, particularly with respect to challenges facing educators in Russia and the USA at the beginning of the 21st century. Global trends are shifting the environments in which civic education unfolds. The middle school and high school years are pivotal in the political socialization and civic education of citizens. This study traces current trends and problems in civic education in both Russia and the USA in the following directions: teacher experience and continuing professional training; civic education imperatives and types of politics reflected; textbooks and instructional materials; the role of interactive programs and critical thinking in civic education; formal and informal curriculum; co-curriculum activities and civic-oriented learning; importance of Russian-American cooperation in civic education development.
