The Meaning of Tymoshenko's Case for the EU: Will Brussels Sign an Association Agreement with Ukraine? The EU has already gone out of its way by initialing the largest agreement in its history with as dubious a polity as Ukraine is today. The only way for Kyiv to get the agreement signed is to free Tymoshenko. Yanukovych will also have to show "tangible progress" in fulfilling the other prerequisites, and make sure to not open up entirely new issues, for instance, by curtailing press freedom.

The Pseudo-Issue of Ukraine's NATO Membership Before leaving office, outgoing US President George W. Bush, Jr. intends to bequeath to his successor and the world yet another headache. As if the Iraq debacle, misconceived "War on Terror," risky recognition of Kosovo, and other doubtful actions were not enough, the US wants to quickly bring Ukraine into NATO.

Unpopular Prospect of World War III: The 20th Century Is Not Over Yet Unless something fundamentally changes in Russian-Western relations, we will--as the Russian-Georgian war illustrated--continue to live on the brink of an armed confrontation between two nuclear super-powers.

European Confusion in Kyiv Western observers and visitors should understand that, for many Ukrainian politicians, the main political question is still not what is legitimate, but what is doable and whether they can get away with it.

The Two Towers of Future Russia: The Rise of Dmitry Medvedev and the Re-Configuration of Post-Soviet Politics Medvedev's rise and the emergence of a "pro-Western tower" in the state apparatus will not, by itself, entail that Moscow transforms herself into an ally of the EU or NATO. Rather, Russia's domestic politics will again become confrontational in as far as the rise of Putin's young successor will mobilize and unite the large anti-Western constituency in various sectors of the Russian elite.

Gorbachev Number Two: Dmitry Medvedev Should the Russian presidential administration retain its prerogatives, and come under the lasting, full control of Medvedev, the Kremlin will become a focal point of pro-democratic tendencies in Moscow. This development could lead to a situation reminiscent of an earlier period of transition that gained fame under its Russian name "perestroika."

Moscow's Miscalculated Show of Strength: Eurasia Reacts Ambiguously to the Russian Caucasus Adventure Like several times before, the Russian leadership becomes as a prisoner to its own propaganda. Outside the Kremlin's propagandistic bubble, Moscow looks increasingly isolated - a perception that, sooner or later, will also find its way into the Russian public.

Political Determinants and Possible Consequences of the Rise of the Ukrainian Radical Right Ukrainian politics has been divided between two camps: the pro-Western democrats (recently represented by the "Orange" parties) and the pro-Russian anti-liberals (recently dominated by the Party of Regions). Now radical nationalists are gaining political strength. Will they manage to get their so-called Freedom party into the national parliament?

EU and NATO Policies in Eastern Europe: Contradictory or Complementary? Russia, quite simply, needs to become a law-based democracy. Oddly, she has the necessary institution already in place. The "only" thing that needs to be done is to implement what Russia's own constitutional provisions, her relevant laws, and her ratified international treaties have been explicitly prescribing, for years by now.
