摘要
The dispatch of Russian troops to South Ossetia demonstrated Russia's determination to rise again and act as a global power.The Russian nation will encounter three contradictions on this path:in terms of the political system,the issue is whether to concentrate central power or practice liberal democracy;in economic development,to rely on the energy industry as a pillar of the economy or to optimize the national economic structure;and in diplomatic strategy,to hide capabilities and bide its time or to pursue a harsh line.Resolving these three contradictions will determine whether Russia can fully take its place as a global power.
The dispatch of Russian troops to South Ossetia demonstrated Russia＇s determination to rise again and act as a global power. The Russian nation will encounter three contradictions on this path： in terms of the political system, the issue is whether to concentrate central power or practice liberal democracy; in economic development, to rely on the energy industry as a pillar of the economy or to optimize the national economic structure; and in diplomatic strategy, to hide capabilities and bide its time or to pursue a harsh line. Resolving these three contradictions will determine whether Russia can fully take its place as a global power.
