geopolitical position of Russia in the modern world is complex and unstable.Experts in the field of international relations tend to believe it is a direct consequence of the specific situation of our country in which it appeared after the collapse at the end of the last century, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.The main difficulty was the fact that the law, as the successor state of the disappeared, the Russian Federation, however, has lost most of the economic, geographic and political benefits associated with the entry into the Union.
Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, borders with a large number of Eastern European States, was cut off from them, quite a large number of newly minted independent states.With large areas, these new neighbors of the Russian Federation have forced the government to take a series of measures to change military policy and economic relations with regard to European countries.
Conclusion friendly alliances between some of the states formed on the basis of the former Soviet republics with the countries that were not previously included in the scope of interests of the Soviet Union, and significantly changed the geopolitical position of Russia.
But the most negative, according to diplomats and experts in the international economy began to effects caused by a change in the borders of the former Soviet Union.So, if before the collapse of the Soviet Union had a huge number of major ports on the Black and Baltic Seas, his official successor, the Russian Federation, today forced to settle for St. Petersburg on the Baltic coast and Tuapse and Novorossiysk on the Black Sea.Equally difficult was the geopolitical position of Russia and on the possibilities of establishing trade via railway junctions - instead of 25 major transition from the Soviet Union today, we have only one located in the enclave - the Kaliningrad region.
Another specificity of the current situation of Russia in the international community - is the lack of an official status of a fairly large number of boundaries between the former Soviet republics.This often causes a great number of disputes between the governments of various independent states formed on the basis of these republics, which also leads to permanent instability in the military field.Periodically flashing on the unacknowledged official border conflicts make Russia's geopolitical position more than difficult.
All this makes it difficult to sufficiently objective embodiment of the geopolitical interests of the Russian Federation, giving its position in the world community some instability.Therefore, for our country at the moment it is very important to establish the most friendly relations with its potential allies.Modern geopolitics is that even the major world powers, traditionally regarded as the major poles of world politics (Russia, USA, China, etc.), can not count on a stable position in the world community without the continued support of their fundamentals allies.This also complicates the situation in Russia, as more countries formed after the breakup of the Soviet Union, became the subject of a big political game designed to win the largest possible number of geopolitical and economic allies among the major powers.The formation of new military and economic alliances directly on Russia's borders creates undue stress is the cause of a considerable number of international conflicts.
