It was no coincidence that this book became a national bestseller in 1994-1995. Echoing the book of the same name by G. Nicholson, the author seeks to analyze the factors that make it possible to assess the strength and durability of a particular world order, starting from the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 and up to the present day. The reader is presented with a number of political figures "of all times and peoples" - from Richelieu to our contemporaries. Speaking as a participant in many historical events of modern times, the author considers them as milestones in the formation of the so-called "new world order", which is taking shape at the turn of the 20th-21st centuries. At the same time, an attempt to predict the course of historical development in the next century and determine the place of the great powers, in particular Russia, in the conditions of the collapse of communism and the emergence of new national states and centers of power, is highly interesting.
