Subject: right on the doorstep Что означает выражение right on its doorstep?Do you think Russia’s imperial aspirations are still standing in the way of its emergence as a constitutional democracy? I do think that, on the whole, Russia hasn’t fully succeeded in establishing itself as a nation state. It still thinks of itself as a great power. It has an imperial hangover, rather like the UK did after World War II, with the difference that the UK’s lost empire wasn’t right on its doorstep . Спасибо! |

я думаю тут чисто территориально, владения Великобритании были за морями, а у России они "сразу за порогом", "во дворе" |
Спасибо, Вам, Анатолий! |
