of the three is believed to be among the recipients. from the economy to global security address the world's biggest country straddling both europe and asia russia is still trying to establish itself in the world and he has recently sat down with a political analyst. who believes that russia's priorities lie in both the east and the west that's our special interview next. which is loving kind of thank you very much for your time and agreeing to this motion now one of your recent article says that russian democracy stale 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 had the legal basis for democratic development russia hasn't been illegal state and when you start to create democratic institutions with no established legal system. there causes corruption. causes only potence or those in power it causes wars about you know or wealth. it causes. wars about property and property in the rights of that 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 development for two thousand and nine two thousand and ten at by the law that cloudless pretty critical was the core of the criticism where their western experts accusing itself i'm sure there was no critical index. actually what the some members of the club was asked 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 primary premises ask the pretty spins of the forum to staying and sell us from trying to scare us with china is quote why she will be scared of china what are its what are its chaplet objectives well there was a question whether russia is scared of china or. 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 are saying that china will reach the united states maybe by mid century though it looks like it'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 skiddy both his 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 egypt 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 and is the. direction all the projects on suffered in ireland 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 war in the market of atomic energy in asia pacific in 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 is here is a year or years of economic crisis 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 in one of your recent interviews you called

russia pacific country russia seat self-less one i think russia should consider itself as you are a 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. 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 euro pacific and that is the united states you're pretty much answered 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 asian 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. means membership in the un nato which is quite problematic. russia in my mind is too big and too russian both for rippin union and for nato. they're not eager to see russia inside well goals are. 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 made videos 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 dated nato was created. as you may remember to keep america in germany and russia. and america in is the real purpose of nato but you know keeping germany down the russian dated missions but sometimes it looks like that these missions are still there you know barack obama's new federal securities tragedy says that 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 the water order well i think there is a change in the united states which is i consider long term. of course

a bamma started this change take you to cold several things the problems americans have it in different crisis there is liken it rock and of ghana system where americans first moved unilaterally almost unilaterally and figure though even america the biggest country were the biggest military potential cannot deal with situations of countries refocusing the problem. this is one thing another thing the economic constraints on american military might and the crisis shows that in that do need for more social spending for a recession measures well all that limits the material be for policies of using force and also this is a recognition of the growing importance of the other soldiers 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 is playing to enrich its at nuclear arsenal to counter the america where. at this point our way to intervene somehow where we can step back russia is not the major player in the game the possibilities of the russian federation to influence the behavior of pin your own is very limited to current leadership we should change to

north korea or champions of survival as they consider their nuclear weapons. the only guarantee against american or. south korea. attack so i heard myself and. the 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 the red with the united states and i think there is still possibility for diplomacy we're talking about maybe a change of powers in north korea the sun taking over is a good thing or nothing's going to really change no one who actually knows it looks like the same litter issue which is. residing in china except the children. will still be there but i don't think that anyone can really

predict it will it will school happen there thank you very much.
