Mineral resource potential
The mineral resource potential of the CIS countries includes almost all types of minerals. Extraction, use (processing) and export mineral resources is one of the main types economic activity for many Commonwealth states.
The CIS countries as a whole occupy one of the first places in the world in terms of the volume of explored resources of gas, oil, coal, iron and manganese ore, many non-ferrous metals, potassium salts and others the most important species mineral.
The bulk of the reserves of coal, oil, natural gas, peat and oil shale account for the Russian Federation. Kazakhstan and Ukraine have significant coal reserves, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan have oil reserves, and Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan have natural gas reserves. Small stocks oil has also been explored in Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
Slide No. 15
Almost all chrome ores are concentrated in Kazakhstan, manganese ore is concentrated in Ukraine and Kazakhstan; In Russia, reserves of these minerals are relatively small. More than half of the reserves are located in Russia iron ores. Russia and Kazakhstan have the largest resources of non-ferrous metal ores; These states contain almost all the reserves of bauxite, lead, zinc, tin, tungsten, nickel, as well as most of the resources of copper and molybdenum (Armenia and Uzbekistan also have significant reserves of the latter two metals).
Russia accounts for more than a quarter of the total reserves of phosphorites in the CIS and more than half of the reserves of potassium salts, which are the main types of mineral agrochemical raw materials. Great resources phosphorites are also available in Kazakhstan, potassium salts - in Belarus, Turkmenistan and Ukraine. Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and the Transcaucasian states have virtually no mineral agrochemical raw materials.
Slide No. 16
In general, the Commonwealth states occupy second place in the world (after Brazil) in terms of average annual river flow, and also have significant potential exploitable reserves groundwater And water resources lakes, but these water resources are distributed unevenly across the territory of states, which is explained by different climatic, geographical, geological and hydrological conditions of individual regions.
The driest areas are the deserts, semi-deserts and dry steppes of the states of Central Asia and Kazakhstan, as well as the Lower Volga region of the Russian Federation. Underresourced fresh water also the south of Ukraine (including the steppe part of Crimea), a significant part of Moldova and a number of other regions in individual states.
About 90% of the average annual river flow occurs in the Russian Federation. The total volume of water in the lakes (including those bordering countries outside the CIS) is over 100 trillion cubic meters. At the same time, water reserves in fresh lakes amount to 25 trillion cubic meters, 91% of which is in Lake Baikal.

The creation of the CIS The CIS was founded by the heads of the BSSR, RSFSR and Ukrainian SSR by signing on December 8, 1991 in Viskuli near Brest (Belarus) the Agreement on the creation of the Commonwealth of Independent States (known in the media as the Belovezhskaya Agreement).
3 slide
The document, which consisted of a Preamble and 14 articles, stated that the USSR ceased to exist as a subject of international law and geopolitical reality. However, based on the historical community of peoples, the ties between them, taking into account bilateral treaties, the desire for a democratic rule of law state, the intention to develop their relations on the basis of mutual recognition and respect for state sovereignty, the parties agreed on the formation of the Commonwealth of Independent States

Member states of the organization According to the current Charter of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the founding states of the organization are those states that, at the time of adoption of the Charter, signed and ratified the Agreement on the Creation of the CIS of December 8, 1991 and the Protocol to this Agreement of December 21, 1991. The member states of the Commonwealth are those founding states that assumed the obligations arising from the Charter within 1 year after its adoption by the Council of Heads of State.

To join the organization, a potential member must share the goals and principles of the CIS, accepting the obligations contained in the Charter, and also obtain the consent of all member states. In addition, the Charter provides for categories of associate members (these are states participating in certain types of activities of the organization, on the terms determined by the agreement on associate membership) and observers (these are states whose representatives may attend meetings of Commonwealth bodies by decision of the Council of Heads of State).

The goals of the CIS organization are based on the principles of sovereign equality of all its members, therefore all member states are independent subjects of international law. The Commonwealth is not a state and does not have supranational powers. The main goals of the organization are: cooperation in political, economic, environmental, humanitarian, cultural and other fields; comprehensive development of the member states within the framework of a common economic space, interstate cooperation and integration; ensuring human rights and freedoms; cooperation in ensuring international peace and security, achieving general and complete disarmament; mutual legal assistance; peaceful resolution of disputes and conflicts between states of the organization
7 slide
The areas of joint activity of the member states include: ensuring human rights and fundamental freedoms; coordination of foreign policy activities; cooperation in the formation and development of a common economic space and customs policy; cooperation in the development of transport and communication systems; health and environmental protection; issues of social and migration policy; fight against organized crime; cooperation in the field of defense policy and protection of external borders.

Bodies of the CIS The highest body of the organization is the Council of Heads of State of the CIS, in which all member states are represented and which discusses and resolves fundamental issues related to the activities of the organization. The Council of Heads of State meets twice a year. The Council of Heads of Government of the CIS coordinates cooperation between the executive authorities of member states in economic, social and other areas of common interests. Meets four times a year. All decisions, both in the Council of Heads of State and in the Council of Heads of Government, are made on the basis of consensus. The heads of these two CIS bodies preside alternately in the order of the Russian alphabet of the names of the member states of the Commonwealth.

Russia and the CIS In July 2004, at a meeting of the Security Council of the Russian Federation dedicated to Russia’s policy in the CIS, Vladimir Putin, who was president at that time, admitted: “We have reached a certain milestone in the development of the CIS. Either we will achieve a qualitative strengthening of the CIS, create on its basis a really working, globally influential regional structure, or we will inevitably face the “erosion” of this geopolitical space and, as a consequence, a final decline in interest in working in the Commonwealth among its member states.”

In March 2005, after Russian leadership suffered a number of tangible political failures in relations with the former republics of the USSR (Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova), and in the midst of the power crisis in Kyrgyzstan, Vladimir Putin spoke more categorically: “All disappointments come from an excess of expectations... If anyone expected some CIS special achievements Naturally, this did not happen in economics, politics or the military sphere, since it could not have happened.
11 slide
The goals were programmed the same, but in reality the process after the collapse of the USSR took place differently...” As Putin put it, the CIS was created for a “civilized divorce” of post-Soviet countries, and everything else is “political fluff and chatter.” The real integration tools, in his opinion, are now such associations as the EurAsEC and the newly created Common Economic Space (CES). As for the CIS, it, according to Putin, plays the role of “a very useful club for identifying the views of state leaders on existing problems of a humanitarian and economic nature.”

Due to the increase in centrifugal processes in the CIS, in last years The question of the need to reform it has been repeatedly raised. At the same time, there is no consensus on the possible directions of this process. In July 2006, at an informal summit of heads of state of the Commonwealth, President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev proposed his own option - he believes that the CIS should focus on the following areas of cooperation: coordinated migration policy, development of unified transport communications, interaction in the scientific-educational and cultural-humanitarian spheres, cooperation with combating cross-border crime.
Slide 13
As some media noted, in 2006, skepticism regarding the viability and effectiveness of the CIS was also associated with trade wars between Russia, on the one hand, and Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, on the other, but especially with the sharp deterioration of relations between Russia and Georgia (see Russian-Georgian spy scandal (2006)). Recent events, according to some observers, have put the CIS on the brink of survival, since Russian sanctions against a country that is part of the CIS turned out to be unprecedented.
Slide 14
After Russia switched to market prices for gas supplied to partners in the CIS, the Commonwealth has lost one of the unifying factors - low prices for gas and oil. At the same time, throughout 2006, the Russian leadership made efforts to form, on the basis of the CIS, a kind of union of states connected by a system of oil and gas pipelines and recognizing the leading and key role of Russia as a monopoly supplier of energy resources to Europe from all over the world. post-Soviet space. Neighboring states in this structure should play the role of either suppliers of their gas to Russian pipelines (Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan) or transit countries (Ukraine, Belarus). The key to an energy union was to be the sale or exchange of energy and energy transportation assets.

Interesting Facts Any state member of the CIS has the right to withdraw from the organization at any time and at its own discretion. The CIS did not succeed as a union state. De facto, the so-called “CIS Institute” is nothing more than a group of agreements on predominantly bilateral cooperation in various areas between Russian Federation and some former USSR republics.
