About the book: 2016 / The twenty-first century brings fatal changes to all humanity. What will the political map of the world look like in the coming decades? Few doubt that it will look completely different from the one we are used to, which came from the second half of the last century. Both the borders of the Potsdam Peace and the borders drawn in Asia and Africa by the European colonialists who left these continents will become a thing of the past. Now, before our eyes, an epoch-making event is taking place in the Middle East: a new state is being born in the bloody throes of ISIS. Like any difficult birth, it is not pleasing to the eye, it frightens and makes you think about the fate of the newborn. Will the Islamic State survive? What will it be like? What is the media not telling us and what is really going on inside this political “black hole”? How does its appearance threaten the surrounding countries, and, above all, our Motherland - Russia? How did the emergence of ISIS become possible and who had a hand in it??
