foreign policy-is the activity aimed to implement objectives of the state ruling class beyond the limits of its territory and its jurisdiction. Z. Brzezinski has been successful in this kind of advisory for the simple reason that his customers themselves have a slightest idea about global policy making, which, in essence, can not be associated anyway with neither cruises on the board of the aircraft carriers-as may be derived from what has been said, – nor with the introduction of dollar as a circulating currency, nor with wide-scale demonstration of «Basic instinct»[10] in all parts of the planet;
internal policy – is the activity aimed to implement the objectives of the state ruling class on its territory within the limits of its jurisdiction.
The ruling classes of the majority of state entities in history are not homogeneous and, by virtue of this, their different subgroups may have different interests and distribute differently their efforts within the framework of their global, foreign and internal policies. For this reason the global, foreign and internal policies of the same state may distinguish, more or less, and even suppress each other. How this may happen in practice, high politological considerations left aside, one may read in the novel by Polish writer Boleslav Prus – «Pharaoh», which has been published several times in Russia since 1991.
But the World is such that the comprehensive processes define the course of those that exist inside them, and, by virtue of this, the global policy, as it stands objectively, no matter whether adequately it is understood by political analysts or not, defines the results of internal and foreign policy of any state.
Thus, for instance, when the hierarchy of Ancient Egypt started to make global policy vesting all its covets in the long-range Biblical project[11] which was aimed to build up a global uniform civilization based on racial financial primacy of the «elite» of Judah-money-lenders, the Egypt of those who were not involved in that project, collapsed because its foreign and internal policy could not resist that global policy, while its own global policy had not been formulated; after Egypt the process of collapse embraced other cultures where the Biblical project was adopted for implementation. The opposite example is the fast emergence and spreading of Koranic civilization and undisputable successes of its cultural development in the Middle Ages, although its origins were confined to Arabia, primitive country if compared with the Egypt of pharaohs.
Y.G. Kobaladze, much like Z. Brzezinski, does not realize the evident difference between global, foreign and internal policy of states. But Z. Brzezinski, engaged in American foreign policy making, still possesses – as distinguished from Y.G. Kobaladze – of a certain feeling of global policy strategies emanating from different regions of the planet. This very difference between the above political analysts is manifested in the fact that Z. Brzezinski called his book’s chapter devoted to Russia – «The Black Hole» while Y.G. Kobaladze was taken surprised by this because the «black hole» is a body which is absorbing irreversibly the surrounding substance. Russia, in contrast, is loosing parts of its «body».
This comment by Y.G. Kobaladze is of the sort – “I am singing what I am seeing (right now)” but I do not know and do not remember anything preceding this and therefore I do not assume any responsibility for consequences. Z. Brzezinski, as distinguished from Y.G. Kobaladze, remembers a lot of what preceded the present situation of Russia, and that is why the chapter devoted to it is called «The Black Hole»; Rus, Russia – which is a regional civilization of many peoples within the limits of one state – was absorbing the adjacent territories, and the peoples who inhabited them were making their own contribution to the culture which was shared by all. This process was not monotone but fluctuating, its fluctuation amplitude increasing with every cycle «compression of the borders of Russia → MEANINGFUL change in the quality of Russian culture → expansion of the borders of Russia (state-civilization) beyond the limits set up by the previous phase of compression of the borders».
This circumstance, insofar as it may concern any political analysis with respect to Russia, inside or outside it, and in any historical era, necessitates the identification and revision of «ultimate objectives» and of means used to implement them. But these problems are passed over in complete silence by Z. Brzezinski, though everyone should understand that no «Eurasian geostrategy» can be formulated in America unless the objectives and the corresponding means of those, whom in respect to this strategy is formulated, become clear.
Though Z. Brzezinski does not refer directly to historical cycles of Russia’s civilization, he does show a certain feeling enabling him to distinct the character of Russia’s historical development from other countries; this is because he uses sometimes the term «nation-state»with respect to the countries of the West. This term reflects the principle of mutually synonymous conformity of the «title nation» (people) to its inherent statehood, which constitutes, first, a system of professional management of society, and second, a territory where the title nation lives together with the ethnically alien national minorities. With respect to Russia he does not apply this term.
Although Z. Brzezinski refers once to Huntington who directly pointed out to the West that Russia is not a state in the western sense but itself represents one of many civilizations of the planet, this subject has not been elucidated in his book, so the Western reader is kept away from the substance of problems faced by American policy in Eurasia.
And besides, although there were «ethnic conflicts» in the course of this process of integration of the adjacent peoples and territories in this civilization-Russia, what in the West is usually identified with Russian expansion or imperialism, no people had been exterminated or led to «bloodless» point in the way it was done by the Anglo-Saxons (in majority), who abused of their technical superiority to decimate the indigenous population on the territory of the present USA and Canada.
The settlement of lands in the central states and in the «wild West»of the present USA was in fact the war for complete extermination of indigenous population of these lands. It had been conducted senselessly and maliciously by several generations of American citizens against men of other culture, who had not managed to create their own statehood and who were treated therefore as imperfect human beings by aggressively consumptive newcomers from another continent. This war was conducted by renegades inside peoples, by those who fled the hardship of unsettled life in their native states instead of concentrating their efforts and overcoming difficulties to settle their life just where they were born.
With regard to indigenous population of the «settled» lands, the American citizens were denying the «Truths to be self evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness»,as proclaimed by Thomas Jefferson, one of the founders of the USA, author of the Declaration of Independence. This principle had been permanently violated in the course of American history- with regard to Indians, Negros brought from Africa, the population of Vietnam and of many other countries.
