Dashichev V. I. The new “Cold War” by the USA against Russia

Abstract: The beginning of 2014 was marked by a rapid escalation of anti-Russian policy by the USA. Ukraine became its main focus, with the events taking place there that may have dangerous consequences not only for Ukraine itself, but for Russia and the entire Europe, as well. By all indicators, Europe has entered a pre-war political crisis. In the XX-eth century, European ruling elites, entangled in their power ambitions, have started two “hot” World Wars and one “cold” war in an attempt to establish domination and to force their will on other countries. These wars had dire, destructive consequences for Europe. For the U.S.A., this was a unique geopolitical chance to become a global superpower. The methodological base of this research consists of systematic, structural and functional, comparative and historical and other social science approaches; methods of analysis, synthesis, analogy and modeling. It should be admitted that the rise of U.S.A. to greatness was largely due to irresponsible post World War II Soviet Union behaviour. High on victory, Stalin and his followers began an active communist expansion, without concerning themselves with the severe geopolitical consequences for their own country, as well as the world community. Almost half of Europe fell under Soviet influence, at that time. The ruling European circles saw the Soviet Union as a top threat, and, to counter it, joined an anti-Soviet coalition lead by U.S.A. The country from across the ocean became a military and political security provider for their independence. This allowed the U.S.A. to subjugate European countries and to make them serve its interests.
