Our guards (by analogy with the sensational “our pluralists” by Alexander Solzhenitsyn) - who are they? What exactly are they guarding? What historical message is the Russian society who is tired of the “big politics”? What new ideas do they carry to the Russian politicum? It should be noted that the “protective tradition” was traditionally present in the history of Russian political thought, giving it a whole constellation of bright names - from N.M. Karamzin and M.P. Pogodina to S.S.

Barack Obama fulfilled one of his main pre -election promises: by September 1, all the combat units of the American army leave Iraq. True, it cannot be said that the American participation in the civil war in Iraq ends on this. The country will remain 50 thousand American advisers designed to train the Iraqi army, as well as protect American facilities in Iraq and ensure the safety of diplomats from the United States.

In full accordance with the Obama plan in mid -August 2010, the territory of Iraq left the last combat unit of the US Army. The seven -year military operation, which began in March 2003, thus can be considered completed. In Iraq, about 50 thousand people of US troops remained, but they will not conduct hostilities and, according to the same plan, will leave the country until the end of 2011.
