• REAL AND IMAGINARY THREATS AS THE CONTEXT OF RUSSIA’S DEVELOPMENT IN THE GLOBALIZING WORLD

  The article analyzes threats to Russia as described by modern political scientists and publicists. Without claiming to give a comprehensive analysis of empirical facts that allow to assess the level of specific threats, V.Dubovtsev views his objective in analyzing the validity of arguments provided by different authors and, having separated the rhetoric, receiving some generalized image of possible threats as a real context of the country’s development. The basis for the study was provided by the materials of the discussion “Russian state: yesterday, today, tomorrow” organized by the “Liberal Mission” Foundation as well as by separate works of experts of liberal and pro-governmental orientation.
