Cental Asia

"We wanted the best, but it turned out as usual" - this phrase often describes the Russian foreign policy in the post-Soviet space very accurately. In this context, continuing the virtual expert forum "Some advice to Vladimir Putin", the project "Central Eurasia" once again moves to the questions of a more conceptual and methodological nature, not only and not so much about what Russia should do with the Russian post-Soviet space (these issues are more or less clear), but about how to do it (how to build the same foreign policy and how to approach to the problems of integration).

After the sunset of the USSR era and the collapse of the bipolar system of international relations the geopolitical realities of our time have changed, a number of new independent states were formed on the Eurasian continent, including in Central Asia. A variety of tasks rose before them and one of the primary was the alignment of their international relations. A special feature for the Central Asian countries was the fact that they are beginning to solve this problem focusing mainly on Russia's position, because originally a view of Moscow was dominant in the region.

In the present circumstances of searching the optimal way of further development of Kyrgyzstan the major political significance is the realization of the value of our own, domestic experience through the analysis of past and present state-building in our country.
Appeal to the historical roots - is not only a tribute to the affairs of our predecessors, but also getting useful lessons for yourself, which is a prerequisite for the proper determination of the tasks oriented to promote our state forward.

The CSTO, EurAsEC or the Customs Union appeal to the idea of Eurasianism to justify the ideological basis of the initiated integration projects in the former Soviet Union. At the same time the Marxist-Leninist doctrine, which was the state ideology of the former Soviet country for more than 70 years, and even the theory of globalization, which recognizes regional integration to be logical for the modern development of the world, remain without attention.
