“2025 “ (Russian for “Year 2025 of Whom”) is a keyword phrase that has gained prominence in recent years. It is commonly used to refer to a specific set of predictions and forecasts about the future, particularly in the context of Russia and its geopolitical standing.
The phrase originates from a 2012 article by Russian political scientist Sergey Karaganov, in which he outlined a vision for Russia’s future. In the article, Karaganov argued that by 2025, Russia would become a major global power and would play a decisive role in shaping the international order. He predicted that Russia would strengthen its ties with China and other emerging powers, and would challenge the dominance of the United States.
