Japanese media: Russia's influence in the post-Soviet space has been shaken

Japanese media: Russia's influence in the post-Soviet space has been shaken
In the former Soviet republics, which Russia considers its zone of influence, this year it got restless. There was a wave of incidents, which have significantly destabilized the situation near the Russian borders.

Japanese broadcaster NHK drew attention to this.

The wave of protests that rose in August against the results of the presidential elections in Belarus continues to this day. In Kyrgyzstan, after the parliamentary elections, protesters began to seize state institutions. New President in Moldova, winning the election, sharply took a course to strengthen ties with the European Union and weaken cooperation with Russia.

Little of, The Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, which had been smoldering for several decades, turned into a full-scale war this year.

Earlier the question was allegedly “weakened influence” Russia in the post-Soviet space was also affected by other Japanese media, trying to link this issue with the possibility “intensify dialogue” in the Kuril Islands. “Hokkaido Saturday” lately has been actively discussing the topic of necessity “active negotiations with Moscow in connection with the political situation in the world”.

It's hard to grasp the connection between all these events., if it exists. Japanese media claim, what do all these cases say about, that Russia's influence in the post-Soviet space has been shaken.

It is hardly so, although almost simultaneously incidents occurred in the Russian neighbors, perhaps, talk about, that recently Moscow has paid insufficient attention to the processes, happening in the near abroad. But one cannot fail to notice, that some events weakened Russia's influence, and others, conversely, strengthened it. Of course, Moldova is unambiguously turning away from Moscow. But, on the other hand, events, what happened to Belarus and Armenia, countries, which began to gradually "drift" westward, led them to closer cooperation with Russia.

Therefore, one can hardly agree with the conclusions of Japanese journalists.. of course, life in the post-Soviet space has become much less stable, but it is still impossible to talk about the loss of Russia's influence on its closest neighbors.
