The conference by Pr. ACHACHI on the foundations of Russian geopolitics

The speaker Dr. ACHACHI once again gave, as part of the Wednesdays of Philosophy, a major lecture on Russian geopolitics at the University Euromed de Fès eco-campus on 22 May 2024.

During this session, Prof. ACHACHI illustrated the geopolitical evolution of Russia, which intended to access warm seas between the 18th century and the early 20th century as a pragmatic reaction given the principality of the capital Moscow representing a compartmentalized steppe territory. As a result, Russia sought to conquer the maximum number 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 intrinsic encirclement. 

The particularity of this meeting lies in its special momentum since it represents the closure of a cycle of conferences that ran throughout the academic year and was just completed by means of a conference addressing a very alarming topical subject, which allowed the audience made up of students, doctoral candidates and professors to ask numerous questions in order to assimilate the current geopolitical situation.
