"No doubt now, that the end of" Cold War marked the end of the longest stage of international development - 400-500 years, during which European civilization has dominated the world. The historical West had always pushed the cutting edge of this dominance.
"The new stage is sometimes defined as" post-American ". But certainly this is not the "world after the USA" and especially without the U.S.. It'sa world where, following the rise of other global centers of power and influence, the relative importance of the role of America is shrinking, as had occurred during the recent decades in the economy and global trade.

In this world re-configuration, it is worth asking what is the role that continental European nations want to play.
At a time when the fault lines are becoming increasingly illegible, it is worth remembering that the only chance of survival of indigenous Europeans is to survive out of the rut Atlanticist suicidal and develop extensive collaboration and integrated with the Russian Federation, so that the pair "Euro-Russian" help maintain peace in the Heartland, in this new multipolar world and polycentric.
