    • February 20, 2014

    The second round of negotiations between the Syrian opposition and the government failed. As of now, the resolution of the conflict almost entirely depends on the position adopted by the external actors, whose relations, however, are now getting more complicated.

    The Olympic Threat

    Probably for the first time in the history of the Olympics, sports-related issues concerning the Games took a back seat to the issues of security. Keeping the Sochi Olympics safe is a matter of Russia’s political prestige, as well as the evidence of its ability to respond to terrorism.

    Syria: A Broader Compromise Is Required

    • November 28, 2013

    The Game of Unity

    • November 07, 2013

    Russia does not have and will probably never have a specific event that can become a symbol of national consolidation. Still, something specific that consolidates everyone at once is necessary and the Kremlin wants people to nationally unite against the external enemies.

    Biryulyovo: More Than Just Another Riot

    • October 31, 2013

    The Losers and Winners in Afghanistan
