Canadian
newspaper National Post expressed considerable surprise to the fact
that Russia has such a huge influence in geopolitics. According to Canadian newspaper, Russia has no preconditions for this. The population of Russia of course is not so little, but it is much larger in many countries. The military budget is also not too huge, it is 10 times more in the United States. GDP is also not leading in the world.Nevertheless, the Russian constantly manage to be at the center of world events. Crimea
was annexed without firing a shot, the operation in Syria for a short
time brought more success than the Allied action during the two years
before that. At the same time the Russian authorities have spent on the campaign less money.At the same time more Americans and accused Russia in a significant impact on its electoral process through hacking. Although these attacks on the RF address are not proven, they still raise Russia's prestige in the world.In addition, says National Post, Russian lost another part of its territory because of the collapse of the USSR. At the same time managed to restore not only its internal indicators, and influence in the world.At the end of the article the authors give a hypothetical answer to the same question. Perhaps they put forward the version of the whole thing in multinational Russia. Successfully managing the different peoples within their own country, Russian is easy to cope with the same problem abroad.
