/ world today news/ Exactly twenty years ago, in November 2003, three events happened simultaneously that determined everything we live with today in the post-Soviet space and in the relations between Russia and the USA:
1. The special operation to remove from office the pro-Russian president of Lithuania Rolandas Paksas was the first impeachment of a legally elected president in Europe
2. Failure at the last moment of the unification of Transnistria and Right Bank Moldova, which, with the mediation of Moscow, practically closed the Transnistrian conflict
3. “Rose Revolution” in Georgia.
The United States was behind all three events. The operation of the Lithuanian special services to remove the “Kremlin agent” Paksas was controlled by the CIA, which was not even particularly covert.
The President of Moldova Voronin was contacted by the American ambassador in Chisinau, who categorically insisted not to sign the already initialed “Cossack memorandum”, according to which Moldova will become a federation, and Transnistria will return to its composition on the basis of autonomy. At one time, a lot was written about the Americans and Saakashvili, even without me.
By these actions, the United States made it clear that:
1. They will not allow pro-Russian figures to come to power in the republics of the former USSR and will overthrow them by any means available (how many times have they tried Lukashenko?)
2. They will not allow Russia to mediate relations in the post-Soviet space, will not allow the resolution of neglected conflicts and will preserve potential hotspots in the Russian Federation’s near abroad.
3. They will create anti-Russian regimes in the former Soviet republics, which will multiply the conflicts along the perimeter of the Russian borders.
Why did the transition to such a policy come about? My version: because after three years of dealing with Putin, Washington realized that control and management over him is impossible and must move to “containment” of Russia, because a sovereign Russia has such potential that it poses a threat to American global leadership.
As a result, the post-Soviet space has become a space of chronic confrontation. And we have what we have. They are building trenches on the border with the PMR, although 20 years ago this border almost disappeared: if the “Kozak memorandum” had been signed, everyone would have long forgotten about the Transnistrian conflict.
As for Lithuania and its current psychedelic state, if 20 years ago the problem of transit to Kaliningrad was successfully solved, today the words “Suwalki corridor” and “NATO inland sea” reek of World War III.
The worst part is that the internal factors in these stories are purely secondary. There is and never has been hatred between the people of Kaliningrad and Lithuanians.
Similarly, Transnistria is far from Serbian Krajina: a military conflict broke out there to the horror of both sides, which was very quickly quelled, and since then Transnistrians and Moldovans on the right bank have not felt hatred for each other. Everyone would have understood everything a long time ago if it weren’t for the foreign players who, instead of living people and nations, see only pawns on the chessboard.
