...Russia's recent major thrusts - for a variety of historical, economic, and security reasons -  have been to dominate the Caucasus and Northern Tier, the Greater Black Sea Basin, and Central Asia. This has been evidenced particularly by Russia's successful initiatives to build strategic relations with Turkey and Iran.
 
 
 
The profound depth of this transformation cannot be under-estimated, and, along with the stability of the European Union itself (which is inextricably bound to Russia for its energy), vitally affects the fate of South-Eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean states.

Russia Frees Pirates It Seized Days Ago

MOSCOW – Two days after Russian marines captured 10 Somali pirates in a much-ballyhooed high-seas shootout, freeing Russian crew members who had huddled for 20 hours in the dank safety of the engine room, Russia’s Defense Ministry on Friday announced an anticlimactic ending to the saga.

YUKOS, once Russia's largest oil producer, was founded by Mikhail Khodorkovsky and

declared bankrupt after Russia raised huge back-tax demands that it was unable to settle.
 
Khodorkovsky is now serving an eight-year prison term in Siberia on charges of tax
evasion.

Russian state-controlled Rosneft became the country's largest oil producer and refiner

following a string of state-forced auctions of YUKOS assets.

Former YUKOS owners say its bankruptcy was Kremlin revenge on Khodorkovsky for his

political ambitions and criticism of the government.

many other key enterprises in Kazakhstan.[22]
 
A recent book by his former son-in-law Rahat Aliev titled "Godfather-in-law"
has shed a light into many corrupt and criminal activities by Nursultan Nazarbayev.
Everything the book contained was, in principle, known before, but have never
before been summarised in such a coherent manner. For example, it became
publicly known that Nazarbaev has three wives: Sara Nazarbayeva, the official one,
Gulnara Rakisheva, a second one, and Assel Issabayeva, a third one (1999 Miss Astana).[26]

Luarsab II, King of Eastern Georgia, martyred by Persians in 1622

In 1783, Russia and the eastern Georgian Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti signed the Treaty of Georgievsk, according to which Kartli-Kakheti received protection by Russia.

 
Despite Russia's commitment to defend Georgia,
 
it rendered no assistance when the Turks and Persians invaded in 1785 and again in 1795
 
 
completely devastated Tbilisi and massacred its inhabitants.
 
 
This period culminated in the 1801 Russian violation of Treaty of Georgievsk and annexation of entire Georgian lands, followed the deposing of the Bagrationi dynasty and suppression of the Georgian church
