Praca składa się z pięciu rozdziałów. Pierwszy rozdział ukazuje kwestię rozpadu ZSRR jako proces emancypacji radzieckiej nomenklatury regionalnej w kontekście rosnącego kryzysu władzy centralnej. Drugi rozdział pracy opisuje model radzieckiego federalizmu i jego osobliwości na przykładzie Rosji, Ukrainy i Białorusi. W tej części autor koncentruje się głównie na czynniku nomenklaturowym radzieckiego ustroju federalnego i wyjaśnia jak ów czynnik korelował z czynnikiem narodowościowym w procesie dezintegracji ZSRR. Trzeci rozdział ukazuje problem formowania się współczesnych rosyjskich elit władzy w okresie od prezydentury Borysa Jelcyna do prezydentury Władimira Putina. Rozdział ten podnosi też kwestię postimperialnej świadomości rosyj...

This fact can be considered to be the most significant geopolitical event of the second half of the 20th century. As a result of the collapse of the USSR, fifteen union republics – the main units of the administrative-political and national division of the Soviet federation – gained state sovereignty and independence. One of the most important results of this process was the creation of Russia (Russian Federation), which declared itself and was recognized as the main successor of the Soviet empire. The young state faced many difficulties, which – at the level of internal policy – include carrying out socio-political-economic transformation, overcoming the deep structural crisis inherited from the late USSR, or building modern durable democratic institutions and democratic political culture. This meant that the new Russian elites needed to make a radical system change and to develop new political mechanisms in the management of this enorm...

This thinking is determinated by geopolitics. Russian political class is not the only one in the world establishment, which is based on its perception of the world system on geopolitical interpretations, because a similar trend can be observed in the American and Chinese approaches to these issues. Recognition of Southeast Asia and the adjacent area of the Pacific in recent years by Washington as the most important global policy direction of the United States is a confirmation of such tendency. Nevertheless, geopolitics in Russia becomes a field of knowledge, which is incoporated into the new Russian messianism, being one of the cornerstones of the Russian historical destination and filling Russian historiosophy with new content. Special status of geopolitics in Russia due to the fact that already in the 90s of the 20th century it be...

After the collapse of the USSR, there was a rapid renaissance of geopolitics in Russia, which was an ideological attempt to rationalise the role and place of the post-Soviet Russian state in the post-Cold War international system. The dynamic development of geopolitics in Russia was also a way for the Russians to overcome the post-imperial trauma and the post-Soviet identity crisis. Geopolitics was to define the global aspirations and goals of the Russian Federation, being the quintessence of postmodern Russian messianism and setting a new historical mission for this state. One of several geopolitical trends in Russia was neo-Eurasianism, whose main ideologist was Aleksandr Dugin. The Russian geopolitician has proceeded to formulate a total ideology based on geopolitics for Russia, which is to constitute an intellectually and conceptua...
