Oleg Barabanov Biography

Oleg Barabanov, when Professor Oleg Barabanov, at thirty -three years, defended his doctoral dissertation and brought a diploma from Vakov to the personnel department, they began to congratulate him as one of the youngest doctors of sciences. He replied: “Well, I defended myself not so early. Here Jesus Christ at my age at which the inspector of the personnel department firmly said: “Jesus Christ lived in completely different historical conditions!

In the conditions of the twenty -first century, Professor Oleg Barabanov presents you a course on global management and strategic information. The course designed to understand and comprehend the future and use it for the good of the present. Oleg Barabanov was born in Biysk in Altai and after school, in perestroika, when there was an honest competition, he entered the History Faculty of Moscow State University.

He began as a historian of the Middle Ages, his diploma and candidate were dedicated to the Italian colonies of Crimea and medieval Italian law. His book about the Genoese lawyer of the XV century. Bartolomeo Bosos in the Moscow bookstore for a long time sold in the department of gift publications along with expensive albums and bibles in velvet binding. Then they sold the book, and in this department they began to sell portraits of Putin.

The education received by the author of the course at the East Faculty of Moscow State University, one of the best in the Soviet Union, taught him the main thing - the adaptation of the acquired knowledge to the changing challenges of modern life. It is precisely this quality, and not a simple sinking of textbooks, Oleg Barabanov seeks to teach his students and listeners himself. When he came to get a job at the Russian Institute of Strategic Research, his director told him: “If you know how to understand the medieval history of Italy, then you will definitely be able to understand its modern external policy and safety.” After that, for seven years, Oleg Barabanov has been in the team of leading Russian experts preparing recommendations for international and European security for the highest authorities of Russia.

During this time, he learned another important quality - bit by bit, as “grams of radium” to collect information “from thousands of tons of verbal ore” reports on forums, articles, newspaper notes and private conversations. He reported the idea of ​​creating the Troika of Russia-France-Germania “up” six months before the famous meeting of Yeltsin, Kolya and Shirak in the Urals, folk songs that the girl’s choir sang there, and the jealousy of the rest of Europe for this unification.

From his favorite places to the Roman campaign, which he knew before, Southern England, Gotland Island, Hokkaido Island and Romania were added. When he met a classmate on the streets of San Marino, he realized that the world was really crowded, and decided to do globalization. At this moment, an important event took place in the intellectual life of Moscow. In MGIMO, a new faculty was created - the faculty of political science - and its leadership was looking for the best experts and scientists.

They prepared new author's courses. He combined his knowledge of history with an understanding of underlying things in the process of making political decisions on international and global uvron. As a result, a cycle of courses on universalist models of the development of the world appeared - the opposite of the modern Westphalian model, based on the principle of sovereignty and sovereign equality of states.

One of the courses was turned into a past. From his lectures, students of MGIMO knew both the spiritual-people's orders, and the secret societies to preserve the innermost knowledge about the management of the world are much more fully and deeper. In the year, he received the Potaninsky Prize, awarded to the best young university teachers in the reviews of students for his “history of world politics”.

Another course was turned into the future. The favorite question for students has become: “What is the difference between bombing Yugoslavia and Iraq bombing? After all, they bombed both there and there, but the ideology, behind this, was absolutely different.

The understanding of military things Oleg Barabanov, a purely civilian person with a “white ticket”, helped two cases. And the Ministry of Defense stopped sending its officers to joint seminars and teachings with NATO. The Russian quota in them for a couple of years was freed for the scientific world. So, Oleg Barabanov got into the National Defense College of Sweden, where he studied the theory and practice of peacekeeping operations within a month.

He lived in a military hotel called "Hatch", where on the walls the drawings from the diaries of the young Charles XII of the very one, whom we are near Poltava! He went to training grounds near Stockholm, where the Kosovo operation was modeled, and officers from different countries in camouflage and helmets ran across the field, and Oleg Barabanov in a white cloak depicted an inspector of the UN.

The second case was completely fresh. Joint work with a third person in the state hierarchy taught him a lot and was very useful. Therefore, the listeners of the course will be offered all the best of the experience of science and practice that the author received during his time of work.He is a member of the Expert Council for International Affairs under the Council of the Federation and a member of the International Association "Wilton Park" - associations of experts on foreign policy at the same center of conferences at the British Foreign Ministry.

We don’t know whether it is or not, but Oleg Barabanov discussed the US military campaigns in Iraq and Iran there a few months before George Bush officially announced the “Axis of Evil” and began to prepare for the Iraqi operation of G. anyway, the world government expert will now be at the disposal of the students of the distant course.
