Eurasian Economic Union: Russian Geopolitical Interests

Natalya Alekseevna Vasilyeva ()

Administrative Consulting, issue 11

Abstract: The creation of the EEU can be seen as an important trend for the restoration of centripetal geopolitical characteristics of the Eurasian space. Thanks to the EEU it was reversed a dangerous trend that emerged in the 90s of the twentieth century, by “skimming off†the post-Soviet space by the interested foreign powers in the European Union, USA and China. It was a great danger that Russia would have lost its importance as the center of Eurasia, combining European and Asian Eurasian states. Just Russian geopolitical interests correspond to the idea of Eurasian integration, which creates the conditions for Russia’s positioning as a Central power in Eurasia. It is legitimate to consider the idea of a “Russia as civilization†as a global project, forming a new Russian identity, and thus new prospects of interaction within Eurasian economic Union and in world space. This centripetal tendency of the civilization should be the main ideological impetus for Eurasian policy strategy of the Russian leadership.
