Der Autor fragt nach den Chancen Rußlands, seinen Großmachtstatus im 21. Jahrhundert zu halten. Seiner Ansicht nach sind diese Aussichten als gering einzuschätzen, mit sinkender Tendenz. Rußlands Erfolgschancen hängen in hohem Maße von seiner Fähigkeit zur Überwindung der Systemkrise und zum Aufbau einer effizienten und konkurrenzfähigen Wirtschaft ab. Dazu bedarf es einer alternativen Rolle des Staates im Wirtschafts- und Sozialbereich und einer Stärkung der autoritativen Rolle des Staates insgesamt. Zudem muß die außenpolitische Strategie des Landes besser auf seine wirtschaftlichen Bedürfnisse abgestimmt werden. (BIOst-Mrk)

Mit dem Zusammenbruch des Kommunismus und dem Übergang Chinas zur Marktwirtschaft hat sich das in den 70er Jahren entstandene Mächtedreieck Washington-Moskau-Peking in seinem Zusammenspiel verändert. Während das alte Dreieck nach dem Prinzip: "Der Gegner meines Feindes ist mein Freund.", entwickelte, ist man heute bemüht, zu jeweils beiden anderen Partnern mehr oder weniger freundschaftliche Beziehungen aufrechtzuerhalten. Dabei verwirklichen die USA iin zunehmendem Maße den vom sowjetischen Parteichef Leonid Breznev in den 70er Jahren gehegten Traum, stärker zuwerden als die beiden übrigen Partner zusammen.

There is no conceptual analysis of the Russia's pivot to East while a lot of discussion about nature and consequences of this geopolitical maneuver among both Russian and foreign analysts. The article based on the analysis of Russian official program documents explores the key aspects of the Russia`s reorientation to Asia policy. Authors view the policy in the context of three global processes: 1) participation of Russia in global competition towards reconfiguration of global order; 2) Russian strategy for reintegration of post-Soviet space and its interaction with alternatives projects for post-Soviet integration; 3) diversification of political and economic ties of Russia with its West/East partners. According to the authors' conclusions, the 'pivot to East' process is unfolding in several dimensions simultaneously. Current geopolitical reconfiguration is the result of long-term processes which closely related with main geopolitical and internal priorities of Moscow, and this gives the reasons for vision of the pivot to East as sustainable rising tendency, which will independent from current and short-run processes in the international affairs. The factors, which directly led Russia to this policy, were rapprochement with China, building of cooperation and integration infrastructure with Asia-Pacific and post-Soviet Central Asia countries, diversification of energy resources trade with the purposes of avoid dependency from monopsonic European market. ; Статья посвящена анализу предпосылок появления феномена российского «поворота на Восток». Несмотря на определённый скептицизм по отношению к этому понятию среди наблюдателей, как за рубежом, так и в самой России, авторы показывают, что пеореориентация России на тесное взаимодействие с государствами Азиатско-тихоокеанского региона и развитие восточных регионов страны действительно происходит. При этом отмечается, что «поворот на Восток» должным образом не концептуализирован и зачастую анализируется сквозь призму отдельно взятых сюжетов (например, воспринимается исключительно как ответ на западные санкции в посткрымский период). Авторы предлагают рассмотреть «поворот на Восток» в более широком историческом контексте, как следствие синергии трёх процессов: 1) участия России в глобальном соперничестве за реконфигурацию мирового порядка; 2) реализации Москвой проекта по реинтеграции постсоветского пространства и конкуренции с альтернативными направлениями постсоветской интеграции; 3) диверсификации политико-экономических связей. В результате анализа корпуса программных документов, относящихся к сфере внешней политики Москвы, делается вывод, что «поворот на Восток», который можно рассматривать как сознательный акт девестернизации, происходит на основе, созданной в 1990-2000-е годы. Непосредственными предпосылками (авторы называют их «движущими силами») к «повороту на Восток», который целесообразно отсчитывать от начала 2010-х годов, стали: сближение с Китаем, формирование инфраструктуры сотрудничества со странами АТР и постсоветской Центральной Азией, стремление России диверсифицировать рынок поставок энергоресурсов, выйдя из монопсонической зависимости от европейского покупателя.
