Siberia in geopolitical theories: blessing, burden, evil for Russia
The three words of the title of this article represent the authors’ understanding of the fundamental bond tying up Russia and Siberia that is the country’s strategic macro district in Euro Asia. In this way the authors want to attract attention to Russia’s temporal and value normative orientations which are very rarely touched on in the analysis of our historical past. The paper examines Russia’s spatial geopolitical blessing, that is its Euro Asian scale of the huge territory, and shows the transformation of this blessing into its burden and evil. It is shown that the pragmatic economizing in the recent strategies, programs, conventional and innovation projects of the development of Siberia is endowed with a tunnel view of the future. The world systemic analyses make it possible other than stalemate vision of the constructive and destructive trajectories in the development of Siberia, Russia and the world.
