International Uncertainty 2020. New Eurasia on the way to consolidation

The post-Soviet space is divided into a conflict zone and a development zone. Amid cooperation between post-Soviet countries and the EU having reached its potential limit, integration within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union continues to deepen.
