Dreams of the Eurasian Heartland

INTRODUCTION Popularized at the beginning of the twentieth century by an eccentric British geographer, Sir Halford Mackinder, geopolitics posits that the earth will forever be divided into two naturally antagonistic spheres: land and sea. In this model, the natural repository for global land power is Read more

NATO – the paper alliance

As the dust settles on the conflict in South Ossetia - and as it vanishes progressively from the headlines in the Western press - one thing has become overwhelmingly clear. It is that Georgia will now never join NATO and that the balance of Read more

Russia and Georgia: economy as a battlefield

In international conflicts economic levers are sometimes more effective than military moves. Blockading supplies of strategic raw materials, freezing money transfers, and strikes at the businesses of the national Diaspora may deal as much damage as tank attacks and air strikes. Since Read more

Solzhenitsyn and the Struggle for Russia’s Soul

There are many people who write history. There are very few who make history through their writings. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who died this week at the age of 89, was one of them. In many ways, Solzhenitsyn laid the intellectual foundations for the fall of Read more

Analyse : Obama: Catspaw of International Finance

By Dr K R Bolton Editor Restoration Magazine   Now that Obama has won the Democratic nomination it becomes ever more relevant to explore the connections of his backers and advisers, as this will give an indication on the direction the USA will head should he win the presidency.             To consider this as primarily a racial matter – whether in terms of white racism or conversely of liberal anti-racism, is to obscure the...

Analysis: Russia and OPEC deepen ties

Oil and conflict have a symbiotic relationship. Last month's armed confrontation between Georgia and Russia over South Ossetia and Abkhazia highlighted Georgia's vulnerability as a Caspian energy corridor, where the West's prize possession, the $3.6 billion, million-barrel-per-day, 1,092-mile Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, transits. Since the military clash ended, the geostrategic maneuvering between Russia and the United States for Caspian energy reserves has only intensified, and Russia has taken the dispute to a new level by cozying up...

Dreams of the Eurasian Heartland

News image

INTRODUCTION Popularized at the beginning of the twentieth century by an eccentric British geographer, Sir Halford Mackinder, geopolitics posits that the earth will forever be divided into two naturally antagonistic spheres: land and sea. In this model, the natural repository for global land power is the Eurasian heartland - the territory of the former Russian empire. Whoever controls the heartland, wrote Mackinder, will forever seek to dominate the Eurasian landmass and ultimately the world....

A SOPHISTICATED METHOD OF NEUTRALIZING A POLITICAL OPPONENT USED BY THE SECRET SERVICES

Just a few years ago I happened to read a very interesting material (a book or an article – I can’t remember exactly). It dealt with methods and techniques of professional seducers, specially trained and used by both Soviet and Western secret services. The female seducer agents, also known as martins, were to become a mistress or a lover of this or that enemy agent in order to blackmail the former or to coax...

Solzhenitsyn and the Struggle for Russia’s Soul

News image

There are many people who write history. There are very few who make history through their writings. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who died this week at the age of 89, was one of them. In many ways, Solzhenitsyn laid the intellectual foundations for the fall of Soviet communism. That is well known. But Solzhenitsyn also laid the intellectual foundation for the Russia that is now emerging. That is less well known, and in some ways more...

Russia and Georgia: economy as a battlefield

News image

In international conflicts economic levers are sometimes more effective than military moves. Blockading supplies of strategic raw materials, freezing money transfers, and strikes at the businesses of the national Diaspora may deal as much damage as tank attacks and air strikes. Since coming to power Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili has repeatedly complained about Russian economic pressure, and has done much to separate the economies of the two countries. Today, economic relations between Russia and...

Syrian President Bashar al Assad arrived in Moscow on Wednesday for a two-day visit during which he will meet with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev. Al Assad’s invitation to Moscow was announced shortly after Russia began its military offensive against Georgia. The timing was no coincidence, and Damascus fully intends to ride Russia’s wave of resurgence into regional prominence. Russia and Syria had a close defense relationship during the Cold War, when the Soviet Union...
