Abstract
The article examines the main trends in the domestic and foreign policy development of the Central Asian states in the current situation of increasing global geopolitical and geo-economic turbulence. The prospects for the short-term development of the states of the region in conditions changing from the beginning of 2022 are assessed. At the same time, this set of issues is analyzed from the point of view of the national interests of the Russian Federation. This option was chosen due to the special significance of the Central Asian region for maintaining stability not only of the Russian Federation, but also of the entire Eurasian space. Separately, the author considers the necessary measures required from Russia to support the Central Asian republics, preventing them from becoming a zone of the “second front” of the collective West against the Russian Federation and weakening continental stability.
