Revision of the Post-Soviet Space and Maritime Strategy in the Contemporary Stage (Black Sea)

Abstract

The article analyzes the geopolitical situation and security issues of the Black Sea region through a multifaceted methodological app­roach. Using documentary analysis, it examines historical and conte­mporary geopolitical theories, factual data, and international events.

The research draws on international sources, political reports, and academic literature, with particular emphasis on post-Soviet doc­umentation and the study of regional conflicts, such as Russia's anne­xation of Crimea and Turkey's role in the Black Sea.

Within the framework of strategic analysis, the Heartland and Sea Power theories were employed to assess the strategic importance of the Black Sea in global political processes. A comparative analysis was conducted to explore the strategies of geopolitical actors such as NATO, Russia, and Turkey.

The research findings highlight the global significance of ongoing events in the Black Sea region and their impact on the regional security architecture.
