<jats:p>"Far right" parties present an important part of the all-European political landscape. An ideological source for many of them is the political platform of the "New right" – a wide group of philosophers, sociologists, historians, writers, who has actively acted in the early 1970th with a criticism of the liberal and socialist bases of the "European project". Processes of globalization and regionalization, crisis of traditional ideologies and state model lead to a change of the agenda of European Right, to strengthening of the right populist, euro-regionalist and alter-globalist trends.</jats:p>

The paper refers to the development of German-French relations in the context of the United Europe building process, examines historical and sociological background of their present-day condition. It contains the comparative analysis of the sources of discrepancies between German and French political strategies. The author also makes an attempt to analyze the role of these relations in the «German question» transformation. The study investigates the history of territorial evolution of Germany in the 19-20th centuries that prevented consolidation of citizens as well as structuring and creating of institutions. It is concluded that only the convergence of German and French approaches on European politics can help overcome the current crisis of the EU integration mechanisms. Two countries have established a new foundation for cooperation which puts an end to centuries of rivalry between them. But the convergence of their political and economic systems remains a promised task. The prospects of this partnership are considered in the light of Germany's new «European mission».

<jats:p>Following the history of Russia–Poland relations, the evolution of Poland's foreign policy and strategy through the ages, in the context of its relations with Russia and Germany, is analyzed. Considering Poland's position towards its relations with Russia, the authors critically analyze political stereotypes by which Polish elites and consequently their foreign policies and strategies are guided. The article sheds light also on costs and limits of traditional Polish geopolitics. Finally, the authors urge Warsaw to address the "Realpolitik" strategy, and propose concrete recommendations which could help "transform" Poland from the "barrier" into the "strategic bridge" connecting Russia and Germany: to the benefit of the three countries (Germany, Poland, Russia) and of the United Europe.</jats:p>

Russian diplomacy after the Ukrainian crisis of 2014 is in search of the most effective strategy that would meet the growing challenges of the modern world. The continued fragmentation (“creeping dismantling”) of the mechanisms and institutions on which the bipolar world has been built for decades requires a flexible and adequate foreign policy line that can be used to reduce risks and advance one’s own interests in an ever-changing situation. One of the elements of this strategy is a “turn to Asia” - a promising trend of Russian foreign policy, the consideration of which the author aims at. Based on the results of the analysis carried out in the article, the author comes to the conclusion that such a turn cannot be implemented within the framework of an inertial strategy - but it requires Russia to be active in building qualitatively new relations with other countries of the Asia-Pacific region (both bilateral and multilateral). It also appears that a “reversal” cannot be carried o...
