This year Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan have joined together in a Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), a customs union with a defense component. The EEU is seen by its advocates as a step toward re-establishing the old Soviet frontiers in the form of a voluntary economic and political union, modeled on the EU – a project to take the sting out of the West’s “victory” in the Cold War.
今年，俄罗斯、亚美尼亚、白俄罗斯、哈萨克斯坦和吉尔吉斯斯坦共同加入了欧亚经济联盟（Eurasian Economic Union，EEU）。EEU是一个关税联盟，也带有防御性质。在支持者眼中，EEU是以自愿的经济和政治联盟为形式重建昔日苏联边界的一步。EEU以欧盟为样板，是对西方在冷战中的“胜利”的刺激。
