All illusions about the progressive change of the world should be discarded as one of the threats to national security. The events in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Yugoslavia dispel the remaining doubts about the possibility of "sit out" in the status of a regional power and "accumulate muscle." Understanding the futility of integrative processes in Europe, as well as the impossibility of peaceful coexistence with Western countries in the face of limited world reserves, will allow the mobilization of the people. Nobody needs a strong, and hence independent, Russia. Therefore, the national security of Russia is the security of all peoples and nationalities living on its territory.
