Under the Bolsheviks, Russia built the Soviet Union and a sphere of influence that encompassed most of Central and Eastern Europe. And now, under Putin s similarly autocratic regime, Russia plans to create, over time, a vast Eurasian Union.

He also expressed that China and Russia should make concerted efforts to dock the One Belt One Road with the Eurasian Economic Union, promote the landing of projects like coastal international transport corridors, jointly exploit the Arctic shipping routes

That changed after Vladimir Putin returned to Russia s presidency in 2012. His main geopolitical project was now the creation of the Eurasian Union, which he knew could not succeed without forcing Ukraine off of its EU path and into his embrace.

3. Invites the specialized agencies and other organizations, programmes and funds of the United Nations system, as well as international financial institutions, to cooperate and develop direct contacts with the Eurasian Economic Community for the purpose of undertaking joint implementation of programmes to achieve their goals

Putin has discarded former President Dmitri Medvedev s concept of a partnership for modernization with the West. But a Eurasian customs union among post Soviet and other countries is not the road to modernization for Russia nor is an effort to make the defense industry the engine of industrialization.

Carrying out in depth the exchange of experiences and mutual learning concerning the management and governing of the country, and the legislative control, so as to ensure the smooth development of mutual cooperation in the areas docking the One Belt one Road with the Eurasian Economic Union at the legislative level.

Noting that the Treaty on the Establishment of the Eurasian Economic CommunityUnited Nations, Treaty Series, vol. 2212, No. 39321. reaffirms the commitment of the States members of the Community to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations and also to the generally accepted principles and norms of international law,

While the EU wrestles with problems of migration and integration, Russia is drifting away from a Eurocentric cultural and economic course toward a Eurasian alternative. And the United States at least under President Barack Obama has retreated into a kind of semi isolation, leaving behind troubling zones of instability and unresolved crises.

Instead, even as the Games were proceeding, Putin launched a semi covert military intervention in Ukraine, which, together with his talk of Russian nationalism, has induced severe anxiety, particularly among ex Soviet countries. This has undermined Putin s own stated objective of establishing a Russia led Eurasian Union to compete with the European Union.

China regards the SCO as a stage for broadening its influence over a vast region, ranging from the Asia Pacific to Southwest Asia, the Middle East, East Africa, and the Indian Ocean. Indeed, its members include about 45 of the world s population, and 28 of the landmass ranging across the Eurasian continent.

Under the banner of a Eurasian Union, and relying on the renationalized oil and gas sectors as both a carrot and a stick, the Kremlin wants to tie as many of the former Soviet territories as possible to the Motherland. At the center of this policy is Ukraine, the linchpin of Europe s post Soviet order.

Russia needs Ukraine if it is to build the so called Eurasian Union, the economic bloc that Putin is seeking with Kazakhstan and Belarus. Unlike the parties to a free trade agreement, the members of a customs union like the one Putin envisages set trade policy with respect to third states through the establishment of common foreign tariffs.

The recent visits by Prime Minister Wen Jiabao to Europe s crisis countries, to which he offered generous loans and assistance, made this strikingly clear. And America s weakness, the growing dependence of European (especially German) exports on the Chinese market, and the enticements of the Far East more generally, will nurture a new and promising Eurasian perspective as Transatlanticism declines.

Putin s unwillingness to heed popular discontent, and his failure to develop relations with the West during his 12 years in power, has backed him into a corner and he is running out of ideas. In his most recent attempt to restore Russia s empire, he announced the creation of the Eurasian Economic Union with Belarus and Kazakhstan.

For if Russia s anti Western paranoia continues and the Kremlin s Eurasian fantasy of allying with China lasts another 10 15 years, Russia will end up seeing China swallowing its Far East and Siberia. Indeed, the weakened Russia that will be Putin s legacy will then also lose the Northern Caucasus and the Volga region to their growing Muslim populations.
