Arūnas Spraunius 2009 07 07

March towards Tbilisi: a mix of desire and fear
Jonas Motiejūnas 2009 06 29
The Kremlin has several times declared that it was for M.Saakashivilis resignation. Actually, Russia can easily remove him from the post of president: the Russian tanks are located about 40 km from Tbilisi and can take the Georgian capital any time. Part of the countrys territory South Ossetia and Abkhazia have declared independence and it is difficult to imagine that Georgia could take these territories back in the near future.

Which road will Azerbaijan take?
Viktor Denisenko 2009 06 22
Azerbaijan was not among the soviet republics which could be referred to as active searchers for independence. The country decided to withdraw from the USSR on 30 August 1991, straight after the failure of the Moscow putsch. A.Mutalibov, the last communist leader of the republic, was elected the first president of the independent Azerbaijan. Then the opposition created an alternative structure of power, the National Council.

While searching for the data on the possibility of Eastern European countries to overcome economic crisis, Ive come across very interesting evaluations.

Moldova: what doesnt kill us makes us stronger
Krzysztof Kolanowski 2009 05 14
Jos comuniştii! (Communists Away!) this phrase reminds the revolution in Romania in 1989, which ended in the overthrow and execution of N.Ceausescu. The current protests in Moldova are also accompanied by the same slogans and a similar goal to overthrow communists who came into power eight years ago and, according to protesters, falsified the election results.

Korea the zone of constant tension
Viktor Denisenko 2009 05 11
Situation in the Korean Peninsula differs from the situation in other conflict-affected parts of the world. Actually the two Koreas embrace one nation. The Korea Republic in the south of peninsula is a free country with the market economy. The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea in the north of peninsula is a perfect example of a military communist ideological system.
