Voronkov, A.S. Formation of the collective security system within the format of the Collective Security Treaty Organization.

Abstract: The Collective Security Treaty Organization went a long way as a military and political organization, and certain mistakes were made by it.

This article is concerned with the historical background of creation of the Organization by the Republic of Armenia, Republic of Belarus, Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Tajikistan, and periods of its development. The author emphasizes that currently the activities of the Organization are of principal importance for ensuring peace and stability in the post-Soviet territory.
