The Eurasian vector of development of the Russian Federation: exodus to the East

Abstract

In the foreign policy and economy of the Russian Federation, the coordinate system is being turned to the East. This logic fits into the framework of the Eurasian ideology. It also correlates with China’s desire to create a global center of confrontation with the United States. This problem is being actualized through a special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine and a “hybrid war” with the countries of the collective West. The formation of new blocs, the “Eastern Entente” leads to a change in the geopolitics of Eurasia and the world as a whole. Within the framework of the research, the author uses the following methods: historical, geopolitical and civilizational approaches, concrete historical, observation and generalization, systemic socio-political and ethnic analysis, synthesis. In the conclusions, the author comes to the opinion about the need to reformat existing supranational integration projects in the post-Soviet space, transform the architecture of relations in the political, economic and military spheres with the countries of East and Southeast Asia, and apply the Eurasian ideology as a state-forming one.
