الانبعاث الأوراسي الجديد : قراءة في العقيدة الجغراسياسية الروسية الجديدة

Abstract EN

The Russian Federation has seen some discussion regarding its potential of reemerging as a superpower, while others have made the assertion that it is already a superpower.

In 2009, Hugo Chavez, late President of Venezuela whose regime was noted to have enjoyed warm relations with the Kremlin, stated that "Russia is a superpower", citing waning American influence in global affairs, and suggested the ruble be elevated to a global currency.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Russia an important superpower, praising its effectiveness as an ally of Israel and foe of Iran.

In his 2005 publication entitled Russia in the 21st Century: The Prodigal Superpower, Steven Rosefielde, predicted that Russia would emerge as a superpower before 2010 and augur another arms race.

However, Rosefielde noted that such an end would come with tremendous sacrifice to global security and the Russian people's freedom.
