   Condensed text:) The Russian expert community, it seems, has
   already come to a consensus that the Kremlin is tired of playing at
   big wars and global standoffs, and is gradually returning to the
   bosom of domestic policy. This is evidenced not only by [Moscow’s]
   telling rollback of troops from Syria [see Current Digest,
   Vol. 68, No. 11, pp. 3 - 6] or its de facto lack of
   participation in the new wave of conflict in Nagor
