GEOPOLITICAL PROJECTS OF THE WORLD WAR II IN THE ACTUAL AGENDA OF THE MODERN WORLD POLICY

Abstract

The purpose of the article is the analysis of geopolitical and "great-power" projects of foreign expansion during the World War II and the pre-war period. A wide range of subjects of a territorial reorganization of the world, not reducible to the definition of the traditional axis of the aggressors, is shown. The traditional positioning of the distribution of forces during the World War II, as the consolidation of the world community against the aggressive bloc (Germany, Italy, Japan) is revised in the light of geopolitical analysis. According to the author, the absence of an accentuated condemnation of other subjects of aggression and the ideology of external expansion leads to resuscitation by the ideology of expansionism at the present stage. Through the analysis of historical material latent geopolitical installations of modern political design are revealed. Appeal to the history of the World War II (retrospective analysis) performs the task of detecting non-public components of modern world geopolitics in the methodology of the author's research. The results of the study will be useful in the conditions of a growing new confrontation in the modern space of world politics, where knowledge of the content of foreign expansion projects and their manifestation in the past is essential for building Russian foreign policy in the modern world.
