The Strategy of Eurasianism

Introduction

This video will be about the strategy of Eurasianism, a set of cultural, philosophical and political concepts centered on the idea that Eurasia – defined as the former Soviet space minus the Baltics and plus Mongolia and sometimes northwest China – has an independent civilizational identity and developmental path.
