The “Russian World” is an imagined community defined in national and cultural terms to include both Russians in Russia and their “Russian-speaking compatriots” abroad. The concept consciously relativizes the borders between nations states and is used to justify the “protective” role of the Russian Federation toward Russian-speaking minorities abroad, especially in the states of the former Soviet Union.

The resilience of US democracy is being put to the test. Undemocratic forces in the United States have engaged in their own efforts to undermine institutions that are designed to check their power and protect the rights of all Americans. To reignite the promise of US democracy and safeguard their freedoms and long-term interests, Americans must rise above partisan divisions, renew their shared commitment to fundamental democratic principles, and bolster rules and structures that maximize the common good.

La résilience de la démocratie américaine est mise à l’épreuve. Les forces antidémocratiques aux Etats-Unis se sont engagées dans leurs propres efforts pour saper les institutions conçues pour contrôler leur pouvoir et protéger les droits de tous les Américains. Pour raviver la promesse de la démocratie américaine et sauvegarder les libertés et leurs intérêts à long terme, les Américains doivent dépasser les divisions partisanes, renouveler leur engagement commun envers les principes démocratiques fondamentaux et renforcer les règles et les structures qui maximisent le bien commun.
