Abstract
The world entered the era of change no later than the second half of the
2000s; however, analysts still lack a common understanding of the conditions
that surrounded the disintegration of the former world order as well as of the
processes, horizons and results of the transition to a new global order. This
article discusses what exactly is in store for Russia and when—a growing
global disorder caused by the collapse of international institutions created
aer World War II, the preservation of American domination, or something
else? It was the United States that started revising the world order; therefore,
Russia’s behavior can be considered revisionist only in relation to Washington’s
revisionist strategy imposed on it. The current post-Washington world transition
is analyzed here in the context of theoretical studies concerning the previous
post-Vienna, post-Paris, post-Versailles and post-Yalta transitions and their
historical experience. The article concludes that the current post-Washington
transition is irreversible, yet it may take more time than the previous ones and

From Global Order to Global Transition
extend beyond 2050. Each country will have to rethink its place and strategy of
struggle for survival and development in the new transitional world. Russia is
still working to define its strategy, and the success will depend on a combination
of asymmetric resistance aimed at upholding the country’s vital interests in the
world, active efforts to build a new world order, and domestic reforms required
for that.
