In the USSR, social sciences developed in order to serve state needs. So, developing the traditions of oriental studies, we were able to achieve success, but not as significant as in the post-Soviet era. Be that as it may, a deep study of all aspects of science continues to this day.

He studied at the military institute of foreign languages, graduated with honors. While still a student, he participated in hostilities, in the Arab-Israeli conflict, after which he was admitted to the GRU. The biography of Andrei Petrovich Devyatov is as interesting as he is. For 25 years, Andrei Devyatov has visited China three times under diplomatic cover. Conducted intelligence activities in the rocket and space and nuclear fields. He retired with the rank of colonel of the GRU of the USSR Ministry of Defense.
What to do for a former intelligence officer?
After retiring with the rank of reserve colonel, the Ninth remained to live in China as a private individual. Engaged in the construction business, opened a hotel on the shores of the Yellow Sea, in the province of Baidaihe. After returning to Russia, Andrei Devyatov wrote the first book , Chinese Specifics, as I Understood in Intelligence and Business.
In total, Andrei Petrovich wrote several hundred books and articles. Among them are: "The Chinese: writing, language, thinking, practice", "Red Dragon. China and Russia in the 21st Century. ” Talented and perceptive author Andrei Devyatov. Books always carry him away, make him think.
Neo-politics
Russian Orientalist Devyatov is a member of the International Academy for the Study of the Future, the creator and founder of the Russian Academy of Neopolitics, a new term meaning the military-political doctrine of time and spirit. His knowledge of Chinese psychology, ethics, worldview, symbolism makes the work deep, filled with meaning. They can not be called superficial. The book “Neopolitics. For those who make decisions ”was translated and published by the PRC Academy of Sciences.

Andrey Devyatov: lecture on China
In his lectures, Andrei Petrovich showed himself to be a deeply penetrating and sane person. What politicians and economists of the whole world are struggling with, he stated clearly and intelligibly. It is impossible to develop the economy and foreign relations only in a bilateral manner, when everyone pulls a blanket over himself. A union of peoples, interaction and mutual assistance is needed. A successful economy needs a shared economy, only then will there be fruitful cooperation between world powers.
Signs and Symbols
In the article “On Restoring Order in Signs and Symbols-4” Devyatov compares the symbols of the Soviet era and Russian. The Masonic tricolor replaced the red flag; on the coat of arms, instead of the sun, a double-headed eagle appeared - a symbol of the Paleologists. The symbolism of our state greatly admires the West, there is nothing left of the symbols of Holy Russia. The combat symbols of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation also look very much like the military symbols of the USA And the new black and gold banners with white crosses are completely similar to Nazi standards. Red - the color of the spirit - was replaced by blue (the color of liberalism) - the color of the flag of the European Union and NATO. Obviously, this props of symbols and signs of New Russia must be brought to a certain order. But what is this new order? The US press has the NOVUSORDOSECLORUM motto, which implies globalization, with the United States as its center and New York as the financial capital of the world. From there went the propaganda of new symbolism, successfully introduced around the world.
Red dragon and Russian bear
“Dragon and Bear, or What is the“ Mandate of Heaven ”is an article dedicated to the meeting of the leaders of China and Russia in the capital of Bashkortostan, Ufa. It speaks of a crisis in relations between China and Russia, despite the fact that many political scientists, official leaders, and the media claim the opposite. In the 50s of the twentieth century, relations between Russia and China were much stronger. They were supported by a military-political alliance built on Marxist-Leninist ideology. The strength of this alliance is confirmed by the war with Korea. The war was fought by Chinese volunteers, and the USSR provided logistical and aviation support. On the 70th anniversary of I.V. Stalin's Mao Zedong was the main of foreign guests, which was a symbol of spiritual recognition of the dynasty. In honor of this, a new direction even appeared in art - posters of the series “Friendship of Peoples”. However, Stalin’s promise to provide China with the secret of nuclear weapons was justified only after his death.
Rebirth of the nation
In 2012, China again spoke about the revival of the greatness of the nation. And in 2014, Russia also woke up from hibernation, decisively declaring itself to the world. But still, for complete harmony, a third force is needed. Andrei Devyatov suggests that Kazakhstan can become such a force, which will play the role of a mediator. Kazakhstan will become a connecting link for the peoples of eastern civilization. For Russia, this will be a kind of cover in the confrontation with the West, and Russia will provide China with the Mandate of Heaven - a kind of recognition of its power. It should be shown to the whole world that China and Russia are connected not only by economic relations, arms trade and pragmatic interests, but there are other intangible values between our countries that are related to the spirit of the people and incomprehensible to Western civilizations.
"War of the drums ..."
In the article “Drums of war, war of drums, or Whom the bell tolls. The Third World War in the Perspective of Non-Politics ”dated November 14, 2015 Andrei Devyatov talks about the sophisticated and thoughtful moves of the terrorists. Their actions are aimed at suppressing the will and intimidation of the enemy. The true goal is not physical destruction, but that, due to the hype raised in the media, to prepare the authorities for the position of forced defense, to push them to actions beneficial to terrorists.
Without weapons
Explosions of airplanes, terrorist attacks in the subway and on the streets, an explosion in the stadium are not just terrifying actions of the barbarians, but a certain strategy of war, where the initiative is in the hands of terrorists, they force us to resort to retaliatory actions. Our liberal democratic state has trapped itself in the trap of not being able to win a war without using weapons. By law, one cannot negotiate with terrorists and interfere in internal affairs. But at the same time, acts of terrorism force us to retaliate. The so-called "drum war" with a clear advantage is won by terrorists.
Whom does the bell ring?
Russia has already exhausted the objects that can be hit with the help of aerospace forces, and we cannot provide air support for the ground forces of the Syrian army, due to the lack of Russian air guides. The ban on civilian flights to Egypt and the export of our tourists eloquently indicates the preparation of a ground operation. The terrorist acts in Paris suggest that not only Russia will conduct retaliatory operations. Thus, there is an ever greater involvement in the conflict of different civilizations. It should be prepared for the attack of terrorists in Central Asia. This attack is likely to begin through Afghanistan to Turkmenistan, since it is not part of one of the coalitions, therefore, organizing a timely and powerful barrier will be a difficult task. Once in the vast expanses of Turkmenistan, terrorists will be able to develop an offensive towards the Ferghana Valley to their co-religionists. One can only hope that the ruling elite of Russia in time will understand the processes of global transformation and choose the right political path.
