Nikolaev, I.O. The process of nuclear disarmament and
destruction of Heartland.
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the problems
caused by the nuclear disarmament of the
Russian Federation and the USA. The goal of the
study is to establish the character of influence
of the Russian-American relations in the sphere
of disarmament on the changes in traditional
geopolitical views. The author analyzes changes
in perception of nuclear weapons in the Cold War
period, as well as specific features of influence of
the American military doctrines and strategies
on the foreign policy of the USA, and the acts
of the USA towards the USSR and Russia.
The author provides the fundamentals for the
necessity of symmetrical response of the Russian
Federation towards the foreign political threats
provoked by the process of nuclear disarmament.
Based upon the studies the author establishes the
specific features of the Heartland transformation
in the conditions of growing and diminishing
nuclear disarmament. The classical geopolitics is
being deformed by appearance and development
of nuclear weapons. Traditional geopolitical
rules for the “global chess desk” are complicated
with a large number of exceptions, complicating
the possibilities for the objective evaluations and
forming high potential for the bifurcation points,
where it is impossible to forecast the further
development vector. Therefore, the geopolitical
paradigm in the international relations loses its
value, giving way to more objective paradigms,
such as realism and liberalism. One of the
consequences of disarmament is return to the
primary geopolitical positions, where military
actions are possible without preventive blows,
capable of destroying the opponent.
Keywords:
nuclear disarmament, Heartland, foreign policy, the USA, geopolitical paradigm, military doctrines of the USA, strategy of the USA, armaments race, destruction of the Soviet Union, strategic nuclear forces.
