Remy talks about Greater Europe, which is a continuity of historical and cultural values of the European continent stretching from Brest to Vladivostok; this continuity has brought together hundreds of nations of the Russian/Soviet world beyond the Urals; their common tongue makes them heirs to the common cultural heritage responsible for their identity. This is what makes the Kazakh and the Chinese Uyghurs different. Greater Europe is also a common marine space; global warming will probably open a sea route from Le Havre to the Pacific bypassing the Middle East. Adapted from the source document.

Remy opines on the present political crisis between Ukraine and Russia. The crisis brought to the fore what had been going on during the last two decades: numerous political advantages lost amid diplomatic misunderstandings and economic blunders. The West, Europe in particular, is responsible to a great extent for the entanglements: when dealing with Russia, Brussels deliberately ignored Russian culture and development dynamics; it proceeded solely from its own ideas about politics and the future order. The Russians, meanwhile, prefer a different development model while Putin is convinced that people are watching the decline of Europe and erosion of European values. Adapted from the source document.
