Редакция S04E231 - Кто и почему дружит с Россией? / Редакция контекст

The thesis about the isolation of Russia, that the country is cut off from the civilized world, has been regularly heard for months. More recently, Dmitry Medvedev said in another post that Russia was "abandoned by frightened partners," and called them "clingers and hangers-on."

Medvedev did not specify who exactly was meant, but, obviously, we are talking about those countries that limited their ties with Russia after February 24. There are many such countries, but is Russia really isolated? Who are they, our remaining allies and partners? What is their motivation? Or does Russia, according to a long—standing definition, have only two allies - the army and the navy?
