By and large, his whole life is participation in the fate of the country in one way or another.
From 1995 to 2004, political analyst Sergei Markov headed the Association of Political Research Centers.

Performances
Based on many of Markov’s speeches, some conclusions can be drawn. For example, he relates the urgent topic of Russophobia to anti-Semitism and Islamophibia. And he considers this to be quite normal. “Russophobia is recognition and fear of the majesty of our country …” says Sergey Markov (political scientist of Russia).
“Our competitors for a place in the world are the United States of America, France and Germany, these countries are afraid of us, their fear relates to natural Russophobia, ” he said in an interview.
And there is such a phenomenon, according to Markov, as unnatural Russophobia. She is what is happening in Ukraine. The political scientist says that they are calling for the destruction of our population in the Donbass and in Lugansk. As another example of unnatural Russophobia, he cites the situation in the Baltic countries (Latvia, Estonia). According to Markov, in these states the rights of Russians are extremely limited, there are undemocratic political regimes.
In one of the interviews given by S. Markov to the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, a political scientist said that Russophobia is racism directed not so much against Russians as a population, ethnic group, but against the three components of Russian identity: the state, the church, and, of course, the Russian language. “But the Russians are a strong and independent people, you can’t destroy us with all this, ” says Markov.
Russia and Azerbaijan
In light of recent events, the leaders of Russia and Azerbaijan switched to a strategic partnership.
Political analyst Sergei Markov about Azerbaijan and Russia says that, despite the ups and downs between these countries, relations are quite adequate and normal. Yes, there is a certain tension caused by some facts of government from the Azerbaijan side, but all disputes are in the process of settlement at the highest levels of government.
According to political scientist Markov S.A., political and military relations between these countries disturb another country - Armenia. The authorities of this state recognize this fact. Armenia and Azerbaijan are on the verge of conflict, and the first would be much more profitable to observe the status quo. If the constructive dialogue between the countries does not resume, then it is unlikely to avoid a military conflict.
However, despite everything, relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia continue to develop and have a positive attitude. According to Markin, the situation is somewhat worrying for the Russian Foreign Ministry. “They are so fanning any minor problem between these countries that it might seem that relations are extremely tense, ” said political analyst Markin. Personally, he has a positive attitude towards Azerbaijan and Russia and is confident that the dialogue between these states is gradually being established.
