Yet some of the forces that Mr. Lieven describes behind Russian policies and politics —messianism coupled with a sense of inferiority, backwardness coupled with brilliance andgreat wealth, the vastness of the land and the determination of the rulers to be recognized asa great power — are all very much on display in Putin’s Russia.
但是利芬笔下俄罗斯政策与政治背后的力量——弥赛亚主义加民族自卑感、倒退势力加上卓越的才华与巨大的财富、广大的土地与拥有极大权力的领导人——这一切仍然在普京治下的俄罗斯具有重要的一席之地。
Mr. Lieven sees more worrisome parallels in Asia. On the last page, he writes that he conceivedand wrote the book at his home on a Japanese mountain, and thinking about the dangers ofgeopolitical brinkmanship and strident nationalism in east Asia “is not a comforting experience.Hopefully discomfort will prove to be the worst of it this time around.
利芬认为亚洲也有同样的令人不安之处。在本书的最后一页,他写道,自己是在日本山地的家中构思并写作这本书的,他认为,在东亚,地缘政治边缘政策的种种危险与甚嚣尘上的民族主义“并不是令人愉悦的体验。只希望违和感就是这个时代最糟的事情吧。
