task of any self-respecting government - to increase wealth and living standards of their country to comply with its interests at home and on the world stage.Importantly, by what means and methods to do it, and not to the detriment of any foreign neighbors.
Russia's national interests and
Russia's national interests, as well as every developed a foreign power, must be to ensure a decent standard of living of citizens.However, each state has different technical and economic opportunities, different by area, and the composition and quantity of mineral resources is not the same.Climatic conditions, population density and number, many other factors make the country even bordering each other, unique geo-political entities.Cause and national interests are respected in different ways and methods.
Countries that are small in area, with poor or underdeveloped economies, are political and economic vassals of the larger and more developed countries, as once happened, for example, to Ireland.Only in this way can they get the means to solving internal problems.Developed major powers to cope with their problems, not only through the exploitation of mineral resources reserves of its own, but also to make a tough aggressive policy against the weaker partners.
Russia's national interests, on the one hand, the same as everyone else.On the other hand, have some of the features characteristic of the multinational state.
Russian geopolitical flavor
One of the pressing challenges faced by the government from time to time acquire special urgency, is to ensure the peaceful co-existence and living in Russia more than a hundred nationalities.And not only live, but also the comprehensive development of national cultures, preservation and development of language and national traditions.And if you take into account that many nationalities initially hostile to each other, or are hostile to everything that is associated with the concept of "Russian", it becomes clear that the national interests of Russia - the concept is the same non-uniform, as well as its ethnic composition, and thatmeet all the need to make great efforts and diplomatic moves.
As is known, the Russian Federation - a country not only with the huge areas of land, but with vast natural wealth.Oil and gas, gold and diamonds, uranium ore deposits of iron, and many more types of mineral resources make the country one of the richest in the world.And that operation of the earth's interior, the production and export them abroad became the main method by which respected the national interests of Russia in the world arena.
sale of oil and gas allows the government to ensure a large inflow of foreign currency.Due to this, the Russian ruble holds strong positions and avoid devaluation.Currency infusion is possible to create a stabilization fund of funds which cover the budget deficit the president in times of crisis.This makes it possible to ensure the country's stability and the confidence of citizens in the future.
national economic interests of Russia largely met by the Government of the Russian Federation due to the involvement of its geopolitical orbit of the former Soviet republics - Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and others. In addition, economic development, a strong European Union is very dependent on suppliesRussian natural gas and other energy sources.And it also allows Russia to conduct its foreign policy with the support of key European countries.
similar trend is also evident in the East.The growing industry of China also needed oil and gas.Being dependent on Russia in this regard, China supports the Russian government and the UN Security Council.A growing military potential of Russia, equipping troops ultra-modern technology makes it a worthy opponent for the other world powers.
With regard to internal policies and compliance with the national interests of the country in this way, then there's not all perfect.The government takes care of pensioners and disabled people, but the bulk of the population lives is not in the best conditions.A bill for the same gas, heat, energy, pays with great difficulty, the majority of Russians.Just as there is the problem of employment and many more, and many others.Government has something to think about, in order to fully comply with national and economic interests of their country and their people.
