Fickle Friends: Whom Will Russia Side With in the Upcoming Global Confrontation?
Russia has no loyal allies, not even Ukraine and Belarus, which it “picked up” because they were there for the taking. For the past 500 years Russia has never been a member of a union where it didn’t play the dominant role. But it would not play a leading role in the growing confrontation between the United States and China, no matter which side it takes.

Democracy, Melting Pots and Greatness in Russia
If you believe that the modern Russia is the product of the thousand-year history of the Russian people, it follows automatically that Russia is part of Europe. If you say that Russia is a melting pot for everyone, Russia should be considered a Eurasian country – not quite Europe and not quite Asia. Today’s Russia could be compared to Portugal if it had kept Brazil, or Britain if it still possessed North America.

Corruption in Russia: Is There a Way Out?
Russia needs an anti-corruption law. Abuse of office is Russia’s biggest problem. Most corrupt officials not so much extort money, as do business under the laws that they themselves adopt. The State Duma is crowded with businessmen who lobby for the laws that serve their interests, and then revise them.

It is Enough to Compare Plans of Russia and China to Understand Russia’s Authorities
If the current leaders want Russia to regain its status, they should consider using economic planning. In recent years, economic development plans have been replaced with all kinds of programs and strategies. The Chinese leadership does not make longer-term plans, because they believe that this undermines performance discipline and responsibility.

Russia and WTO: Is the World Bank’s Optimism Justified?
Russia’s accession to WTO will affect Russian industrial producers, but will at the same time benefit consumers through lower duties and stronger market competition. Therefore, Russia’s membership in the WTO will optimize people’s spending rather than increase their incomes.

Can Russia Achieve an Innovation Breakthrough?
Russia can produce anything it wants. Global competition allows new players who can offer something better to establish themselves on the market. But Russia does not have the political will and is not making the administrative efforts necessary to achieve an innovation breakthrough.

Modernization Is as Simple as Making Cheesecake
Independent development is very important, but borrowing is more effective. The question is what Russia wants to achieve. If it wants to catch up with someone by a given deadline, independent development will be counterproductive, because we would kill ourselves trying to reinvent the wheel when there is technology that we can use for free.

Will Russia Join the WTO Before Yearend?
It appears that the last barriers to Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) have been removed, and there is every reason to believe that the accession documents will be approved at the ministerial conference on December 15-17. The only way the 18-year accession process could collapse is if Russia itself mishandles it.

Right Cause Party Could Be a Political Force to Deal With
Could Right Cause become Dmitry Medvedev’s party? This depends on whether he needs the support of a political party. Judging from the incumbent president’s recent actions, he is not an independent political player at this point. He hopes to be able to run for a second term, but is waiting for Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and United Russia to agree to his competing on the campaign trail.
