The West responded to the growing influence of the people's democracies with the Cold War, which led to the defeat of the Soviet superpower and the collapse of the socialist camp. But this is not enough: the only superpower is striving for a total revision of the results of World War II and control over the planet's natural resources. The famous Americanist scholar A. I. Utkin convincingly proves that a new global redistribution of the world is already underway. And at the center of the battle is once again Russia with its colossal reserves of raw materials. Therefore, the ‘velvet’ and ‘orange’ revolutions in the post-Soviet space, the wars in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, planned and unleashed by the United States in recent times are no coincidence. American revanchism is revenge for the Great Victory of the USSR over fascism.
