here in our next hour to talks to political experts. about russia's future as a european power. which is loving kind of thank you very much for your time and agreeing to my pleasure now one of your recent article says that russian democracy still making baby steps is also something that we've been hearing for the past twenty years what is coming in its way to becoming full fledged the most important thing is history heritage. all the western countries started democratic development in the eighteenth century they have the legal basis for

democratic development russia doesn't pee in illegal street and when you start to create democratic institutions with no established legal system there are courses corruption. causes only potence all those and poulder. it causes wars about you know wealth it causes. wars about property and property in the rights of the world well established so i think that is the major problem for russia no. before making great steps leaps in democratic development the government has to establish the legal system here there and democracy will develop naturally the index of russia's to plan for two thousand and nine two thousand and ten by the law that cloudless pretty critical was the core of

the criticism where there western acts persecution itself actually there was no critical index. actually what the some members of the club. to answer the question was how would you estimate russia's development during last year in certain areas. in one area the development was considered to be a positive that was economic. in one area i think it was devoted to. demonstrations i think that was. regarded as negative all the other indexes which were the experts were supposed to speak about were neutral well also private premises ask the pretty spins of the forum to staying themselves from trying to scare us with china that was why she will be scared of china what are its

what are its jeff political objectives well there was a question of whether russia is scared of china. russia is not of course china is the rising power probably the rising superpower or a superpower seven to the united states before the crisis everyone was saying that china will reach the united states maybe by mid century no it looks like there's going to be in the twenty's of this century china is the challenge to everybody for russia it's also a challenge of rising powers borders challenge of demographic pressures and many people in russia are scary both as development is quite trivial to say in russia these days that relationship between russia and china today is the best ever well president that i've also requested for any strategy a strategy to be devised in the asia pacific region how should russia build up its

economy in this region what should the needs tragic be like problem for russia in asia pacific is it is regarded as a serious political player it is a serious military player but it is not a serious economic player yet so for russia the challenge of asia pacific is to become a part of asia pacific market which is the biggest market on earth and russia is. making serious steps in this direction all the projects on such an island for example we are the projects to develop natural gas oil and l. and g. production is oriented towards the markets of asia pacific japan china russia is more and more active or in the market of atomic energy in asia pacific

and it is not just china it's vietnam and some other countries of southeast asia and russia is very much. interested in investment from asia pacific countries one interesting figure. during the if he hears a year or years of economic crises foreign investment into russia from the west decreased but if you look at asia pacific. foreign investment from asia pacific to russia tripled. during the time of crisis there is a very important development so also one of your recent interviews you called russia a hero pacific country does russia see it self as one i think russia should consider itself as euro pacific power. russia is still looking for its identity some people say russia is a european country and it is because our culture is european and our trade

relationship mostly with the european union more than sixty percent of foreign trade on the other hand russia is bigger than europe it's your asian country because most of its territory is in asia and there is also quite an important side of the russian life but in my mind for russia the most promising geopolitical reintegration is europe aciphex. like one more country in the world which is here a pacific and that is the united states supreme actually answer my question but if we were as of now to say where do russia's priorities lie can it face to the east and the west equally our priorities are east and west russia is european russia is asia some people say russia is just an independent central power some say that russia should be part of the western community. some say that russia should look

eastward or southern southward. my feeling is russia can build on its relationship with the worst but it is quite unrealistic to assume that it can become part of the west because integrating into the western community here in the e.u. it means membership in the un nato which is quite problematic russia in my mind is too big and too russian both for a rippin union and from nato. they're not eager to see russia inside well goals are is russia pursuing by proposing at common european security strategy russia's goal is to make russia part of the european security the irony of the situation that russia which is an important country in europe. a important

state is not poured over european security system as of today the european security system is nato where they are part of it so the proposal of means video to build common security space is to bring russia and some other countries which are still like ukraine into the common european. security decision making are you one of those politicians who believes that nato is an outdated organization every organization which exists is not outdated it exists. and of course some missions of this organizations are somewhat old dated and some of the thinking inside nato. though data the nato bureaucracy is sometimes old data nato was created. as you may remember to keep america in germany and russia. and america in is the

real purpose of nato but keeping germany down in russia outdated missions but sometimes it looks like that these missions are still there you know barack obama's new federal securities tragedy says that as no one country even the strongest one can. actually faced while challenges alone is this one politician speaking or oil really see a change in a water order well i think there is a change in the united states which is i consider long term. of course a bomb on started this change taking you to count several things the problems americans have it in different crisis serious like in iraq and afghanistan where americans first moved unilaterally almost unilaterally and then figure though

even america the biggest country with the biggest military potential cannot deal with situations and in countries which were considered to be minor problems. this is one thing another thing the economic constraints on american military might and the crisis shows that in that the need for more social spending for a recession measures all that limits the material before policies of using force and also this is a recognition of the growing importance of the other centers of power including china including india brazil russia and few others which are playing a greater role in the global community so that is something we should recognize as a reality here prostration of weapons of mass destruction has actually swapped places with terrorism on america's priority list of threats and challenges does

this mean that the u.s. will coralie be focusing itself on iran and north korea right now well it looks like from what we read in american strategic documents and also lately north korea said that it's playing to enrich its at nuclear arsenal to counter the america where. russia play at this point our way to intervene somehow where we can step back russia is not the major player in the game but the possibilities of the russian federation to influence the behavior of pyongyang is very limited the current leadership which is going to change in north korea is very or champions of survival as they consider their nuclear weapons as the only guarantee against america or korea south korea.

attack so i heard myself a. top official saying that americans do not have nuclear states and that's why we're nuclear that's their logics of course the north koreans are very much interested in direct dialogue with the united states and i think there is still possibility for diplomacy we're talking about maybe change of powers in north korea a sun taking over in the second thing or nothing's going to really change no one actually knows it looks like the same literature for which is no residing in china except. there will still be there but i don't think that anyone can really predict it both was going to happen there thank you very much.

struggling. just. to brighten. from silence to.
