Благодаря этому глубокому интересу были исследованы многие неизвестные стороны темы. Тем не менее, большинство аналитических исследований следовало определенной модели, которая не всегда соответствовала действительности. Хотя Кипр занимает исключительное место в российской внешней политике, интерес России к кипрским экономическим и политическим вопросам, однако, в некоторых случаях был переоценен. В результате по разным геополитическим и геоэкономическим причинам остров был втянут в политические и экономические отношения НАТО-ЕС-Россия, возникшие в последние десятилетия, и заплатил за это высокую цену. На этом фоне можно утверждать, что решения Еврогруппы в отношении кипрских банков в марте 2013 года были необоснованными и ложными и в конечном итоге не достигли целей, которые они намеревались достичь. В статье также опровергается мнение, что Москва заинтересована в нефтегазовом месторождении EastMed из-за его значения в политике диверсификации поставок энергоносителей в ЕС. Российские компании, похоже, не выступают против различных проектов, направленных на разработку ресурсов месторождения EastMed, поскольку они не рассматривают газ этого месторождения как угрозу своим экономическим интересам.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>In recent years, Russian-Cypriot relations have been a very topical issue among EU politicians, scholars and journalists dealing with international relations of Russia, South-eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean. Through this deep interest many unknown parameters of the topic have been illuminated. Nevertheless, most of the analyses followed a certain pattern that did not always dovetail with reality. Although Cyprus has possessed an exceptional place in the Russian foreign policy, Russia’s interest in the Cypriot economic and political affairs, however, have been in some cases overrated. As a result, for various geo-political and geo-economic reasons the island has been dragged into the EU-Russia political and economic troubled NATO-EU-Russia relationship of the last decade and paid a high tribute for it. Against this background, it is argued that the Eurogroup’s decisions regarding the Cypriot banks in March 2013 were groundless and false and eventually backfired on the goals they intended to achieve. The article also counter-argues the opinion that Moscow is interested in the EastMed gas reserves because of their value in the EU-energy supply diversification policy. Russian companies do not seem to oppose the various projects aimed at exploiting EastMed resources, as they do not view East Med gas as a threat to their economic interests.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Европейский Союз</kwd><kwd>Еврогруппа</kwd><kwd>Кипрские банки</kwd><kwd>Кремль</kwd><kwd>газовое месторождение East Med</kwd><kwd>оборонное сотрудничество</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>European Union</kwd><kwd>Eurogroup</kwd><kwd>Cypriot Banks</kwd><kwd>Kremlin</kwd><kwd>East Med Gas</kwd><kwd>Defence Cooperation</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Abushov, Kavus: Professor at Azerbaijani Diplomatic Academy-ADA, Expert on Russia (Baku, 22 August 2017).</mixed-citation><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Abushov, Kavus: Professor at Azerbaijani Diplomatic Academy-ADA, Expert on Russia (Baku, 22 August 2017).</mixed-citation></citation-alternatives></ref><ref id="cit2"><label>2</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Kvashnin, Yuri: (Head of Section of the EU Studies of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences) (Moscow, 3 September 2015)</mixed-citation><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Kvashnin, Yuri: (Head of Section of the EU Studies of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences) (Moscow, 3 September 2015)</mixed-citation></citation-alternatives></ref><ref id="cit3"><label>3</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Mavrogiannis, Andreas: Cypriot Diplomat and special negotiator of the Republic Cyprus in the intercommunal talks since 2013 (electronically, August 2017).</mixed-citation><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Mavrogiannis, Andreas: Cypriot Diplomat and special negotiator of the Republic Cyprus in the intercommunal talks since 2013 (electronically, August 2017).</mixed-citation></citation-alternatives></ref><ref id="cit4"><label>4</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Mor Amit: Energy Expert-Professor for Energy economics and geopolitics (September 2018, Hertzliya, Israel).</mixed-citation><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Mor Amit: Energy Expert-Professor for Energy economics and geopolitics (September 2018, Hertzliya, Israel).</mixed-citation></citation-alternatives></ref><ref id="cit5"><label>5</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Adams Th. and Cottrell A.
