Paradoxically, the process of reintegration of post-Soviet area has been taking place since the collapse of the USSR. The motive of Russia’s efforts to reintegrate this region is the historically driven belief in Moscow’s role as a leader in this part of the world, and the strong cultural, economic and political ties that connect it with the former Soviet republics. The former republics of the USSR also feel strong ties with Russia. In addition, the ruling elites feared the future after the collapse of the USSR, especially at the beginning of the formation of their independent statehood, which determined the decision to establish strong cooperation with Russia. Today, after nearly thirty years, the reintegration process still continues although its intensity and the number of countries involved have changed. One of its areas is the sphere of security, which is confirmed by the activity of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, where Russia plays a key role. In this context, the author attempted to answer the question: What role does the CSTO play in Russia’s foreign policy?

The paper analyzes the circumstances of the formation of a new security paradigm in Asian countries (former Soviet republics - Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan). The twilight of bipolarity, unfortunately, did not open a new qualitative page in the system of regional security. Global socio-economic transformations and political upheavals have added to political instability and uncertainty. Against this historical and political background, Russia's war against Ukraine became a bifurcation point for such a region as Western Eurasia. The relevance of the research topic is determined by the international political processes that are taking place today in the territory of the former Soviet Union. The security format of the former republics of the Union is traditionally considered mainly in the regional - post-Soviet geopolitical context. Therefore, when analyzing the foreign policy features of the region, one should take into account the fact that the Asian republics were part of the USSR for a long time. At the same time, the process of the collapse of the Soviet Union did not fundamentally change the specific status of Russia in the Eurasian “Heartland”. For a long time, Russia and the southern republics of the former Soviet Union were bound by ties of common imperial history, culture and values. However, the fact that Asia has been under the political roof of the Russian Empire for many years has determined the paradigm of Russia's paternalistic attitude towards the countries of the region and for many years defined the framework of the regional security paradigm. Regional political processes are an urgent problem in the system of researching processes and phenomena in the post-Soviet space, causing a clash of different points of view and practice. The focus of the research is the problem of the past and present in the countries of Asia (former Soviet republics) as international regional actors and the determination of possible prospects for the development of their foreign policy scenario. The purpose of the study is to clarify the role and place of Asian countries (former republics of the USSR) in the process of forming a new regional security paradigm from the moment of the beginning of the active phase of Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. The object of research is Western Eurasia as a modern regional phenomenon of geopolitics. The subject of the study is the foreign policy of modern Asian countries (former Soviet republics) in the conditions of the formation of a new paradigm of international relations and the growing competition of world actors in the region (USA, EU, China, Russia).

Artykuł przedstawia układ sił pomiędzy Organizacją Traktatu Północnoatlantyckiego a Organizacją Układu Bezpieczeństwa Zbiorowego w odniesieniu do interesów geopolitycznych obu sojuszy polityczno-wojskowych. W badaniach potęgi gospodarczej, wojskowej i geopolitycznej wykorzystano metody polskiej szkoły potęgometrycznej. Prezentowane wyniki badań oparto na aktualnych danych empirycznych. Konkluzje wskazują na ilościowe i jakościowe dysproporcje w układzie sił oraz oceniają ich wpływ na realizację interesów geopolitycznych obu organizacji

The paper examines the balance of power in relation to the security interests of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). The economic, military (conventional) and geopolitical power of these two military alliances as well as their permanent member states are calculated according to the powermetric methodology and actually available data. It refers to a powermetrics as the applied science dealing with measurements, assessments and evaluation of public life participant’s (actors) power, particularly of states, and the modeling, simulation and forecast of relationship between them in global, regional and local dimension. Studying the ratio of power it has been estimated the abilities of the alliances to achieve their security interests.

The paper analyses the regional security system (RSS) concept consisting of regional security organizations (RSOs) related to five regional security blocks (RSBs): Western RSB, CIS/CSTO RSB, CIS-Asia RSB, African RSB, and East-West RSB, after a Cold War. Relying on the empirical data received from powermetric formal model approach, the balance of power, as well as the security interests of the RSBs have been determined. The East-West RSB represented by the OSCE is the leader in all categories of powermetric ranking according to economic power, military power, and geopolitical power, composed by the NATO’s, EU’s, as well as the CIS/CSTO RSB countries. The economic, military, and geopolitical power of the NATO (more broadly the Western RSB) is the strongest pillar of the OSCE power. The non-NATO states, like the Russian Federation only slightly impact the power of the OSCE. The security interests of the Western RSB countries are quite different in comparison to the CIS/CSTO RSB states in OSCE.

W artykule przeanalizowano koncepcję regionalnego systemu bezpieczeństwa (RSS) po zimnej wojnie, składającą się z regionalnych organizacji bezpieczeństwa (RSO) powiązanych z pięcioma regionalnymi blokami bezpieczeństwa (RSB): Zachodnim, Rosyjskim (WNP/OUBZ), CIS-Azjatyckim, Afrykańskim i Północnym. Opierając się na danych empirycznych otrzymanych z metodycznego modelu potęgometrycznego, określono równowagę sił, a także interesy związane z bezpieczeństwem poszczególnych bloków. Blok Północny, reprezentowany przez OBWE, jest liderem we wszystkich kategoriach rankingu potęgometrycznego zarówno jeśli chodzi o potęgę gospodarczą, militarną jak i geopolityczną. W jego skład wchodzą państwa NATO, UE, a także państwa WNP/OUBZ. Potęga gospodarcza, militarna i geopolityczna NATO (szerzej bloku zachodniego) jest najsilniejszym filarem potęgi OBWE. Państwa nie należące do NATO, jak Federacja Rosyjska, tylko w niewielkim stopniu wpływają na siłę OBWE. Interesy bezpieczeństwa bloku zachodniego są zupełnie inne niż w krajach WNP.
