“The EU turned out to be not only a set of standards and tools for financial assistance, but also a powerful mechanism for limiting national sovereignty, which the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, rushing away from Moscow during the integration process, did not think much about,” the weekly writes. “Now they have a new metropolis, whose control and tutelage they soon began to feel burdened by. Seeing that they were separated from Russia by a belt of post-Soviet countries, the states in the central and southern part of the former CMEA quickly came to the understanding that Moscow, which was no longer neighboring them, could pose a direct threat.”
At the same time, the publication stipulates that countries that have a common border with the Russian Federation have a much cooler attitude towards the Kremlin, but adds that the economic reasons for the described trend are more significant than geographical ones.
“And, of course, the economy played a key role, when Russia began to generously share various material benefits with former clients as a reward for friendship with it,” emphasizes Vesti. The reporter".
