Vladimir Ryzhkov writes:In contrast to the successes in the East and West, Russia — the country that did so much to inspire all these changes — has ended up the biggest loser in the post-Cold War era. Twenty years later, the country has experienced a triple defeat. First, Russia has failed to modernize its economy or social sphere. Second, it has not been able to build an effective political system, creating instead a one-man authoritarian regime. Russia has lost its international reputation and its former superpower status, leaving it almost entirely without allies or the support of global public opinion. Read the opinion here.

Pavel Korduban writes:Electoral populism clearly prevails over economic wisdom in Ukraine ahead of the presidential election. Consequently, the IMF faces a difficult choice. If Ukraine does not receive the loan tranche expected in the middle of November, its national currency, which lost some 40 percent of its value in late 2008 and early 2009, will again fall making economic recovery slower and more painful. If the IMF turns a blind eye to Kyiv’s failure to abide by its conditions, the IMF’s prestige will suffer and Ukraine’s finances will be further unbalanced prompting it to seek additional international loans, including from the IMF.

Taras Kuzio writes:Victor Yanukovych was put forward as a presidential candidate at the congress of the Party of Regions on Oct. 23 (www.partyofregions.org.ua, Oct. 23). Yanukovych’s foreign policy can be gauged from several policies that he and his party have previously supported and the content of his Jan. 17 election program “Ukraine For the People!” (www.yanukovych.com.ua, October 28).

Jason Bush of Reuters writes:As New Year approaches, Russia and Ukraine are once again squabbling over gas. Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has warned that Ukraine is again at risk of defaulting on its payments for Russian gas. Despite sharp rhetoric and increasing tensions, another major bust-up seems unlikely this time. November 03 at 21:39 |

Russia's revenues from oil and natural gas are enabling its aggressive and often anti-Western foreign policy. Russia's falling economic performance has toned down Russia's rhetoric, but has not drastically changed Russia's foreign policy narrative, which remains decidedly anti- status quo and implicitly anti-American. The U.S. needs to devise incentives for steps that facilitate Russia's integration into global markets, but deny benefits if Russia continues to pursue anti-American policies or refuses to enact the needed changes.

Andrew Gavin Marshall writes:Following United States' geo-strategy in what Zbigniew Brzezinski termed the “global Balkans,” the US government has worked closely with major NGOs to “promote democracy” and “freedom” in former Soviet republics, playing a role behind the scenes in fomenting what are termed “colour revolutions,” which install US and Western-friendly puppet leaders to advance the interests of the West, both economically and strategically.
