Professor ACHACHI's Conference on the Foundations of Russian Geopolitics

On May 22, 2024, speaker Dr. ACHACHI once again led a major conference on Russian geopolitics as part of the Philosophy Wednesdays series, held at the eco-campus of the Université Euromed de Fès.

During this session, Prof. ACHACHI illustrated the geopolitical evolution of Russia, which, from the 18th century to the early 20th, intended to access warm seas as a pragmatic reaction to the principality of the capital Moscow, representing a landlocked steppe territory. Consequently, Russia sought to conquer a maximum of regions and territories to create a regional buffer. Subsequently, Mr. ACHACHI mentioned the concept of the "Russian world," which adds to the West/East logic in order to escape an intrinsic encirclement.

The particularity of this meeting lies in its special momentum, as it represents the closing of a lecture series that spanned the entire academic year and has just been concluded with a conference addressing a highly formidable current topic. This allowed the audience, comprised of students, doctoral candidates, and professors, to ask numerous questions in order to grasp the current geopolitical situation.
