The Baltic Sea Region is 1000 years old. As early as four thousand years ago there was a distinct, well-defined Baltic culture – the so called “boat-axe-culture”. Over the centuries, the Baltic has been the Sea of Communication for the inhabitants in the regions close to it – Viking ships, Hansa koggs, tall sailing ships and steamers have all plied the Sea around Visby and Gotland. The Baltic has helped people on its southern, northern, western and eastern shores to meet each other, and to trade with each other. We are all neighbours around this Sea … We have been, we still are, and we continue to be – neighbours. - Welcome Address by the Swedish Prime Minister Göran Persson at the 1st Baltic Sea States Summit in Visby, May 3rd, 1996 3 4 5 7 8 9 Commissioned and edited by Anthony Jay, Egle Obcarskaite, Jacek Smolicki Layout and design: Jacek Smolicki © CBSS Secretariat 10 11 12 Index Presidium 17 Foundation 25 Strategies for Sustainable and Innovative Future 51 Multi-level Governance and Regional Cohesion 57 Resilience and Inclusion in times of austerity 67 The Machine Room 79 13 14 The Council of the Baltic Sea States was It is fitting that currently Germany founded in a completely different politi- holds the Presidency of the CBSS for cal, cultural and technological landscape. -

Introduction: The Russian Orthodox Church and the Russian Nuclear Complex By Jon Askonas In Russian Nuclear Orthodoxy,1 Dmitry Adamsky provides overwhelming evidence that the Russian Orthodox Church and the Russian nuclear forces are influencing each other to an astonishing degree. Each leg of the Russian nuclear triad, along with the Russian nuclear development complex and civilian energy sector, has embraced and been embraced by the highest levels of the Church’s hierarchy, a relationship that was encouraged by the Putin regime. The Church and the nuclear complex cooperate on matters small and great, and Orthodox worship, pastoral care, and theology is increasingly integrated throughout the chain of command. Having proved the existence of this unusual nexus, Adamsky tries to figure out what it means, especially for our understanding of nuclear strategy and Russian foreign policy. In Adamsky’s book, the literature on strategic culture comes full circle. While the concept has since acquired a life of its own, it emerged from an interpretive puzzle that faced those studying none other than the then-Soviet nuclear forces. In his 1977 RAND report, “The Soviet Strategic Culture: Implications for Limited Nuclear Operations,”2 Jack Snyder poked at the soft underbelly of American nuclear strategy: the assumption that the Soviet military shared America’s understanding of nuclear weapons. -
