This avoids the international squabbles and ambitions which come to the fore in more multilateral contexts. The bilateral relationships include the following specific features: - military cooperation (conduct of joint exercises; training for military personnel from Central Asian countries in Russian military training establishments; use by Russia of military and research facilities in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan); - cooperation in external border protection (this was particularly intensive in the 1990s; now it is mostly in the form of consultation, and concerns primarily Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan); - cooperation in defence equipment supply (supply by Russia of military equipment and provision of services and after-sales service); - cooperation in defence research, development and manufacturing (placing by Russia of orders for military equipment in Central Asian companies, establishment of joint ventures for the manufacture and repair of military equipment, conduct of joint research and development work); - cooperation in space activities (primarily between Russia and Kazakhstan) During the pre-Gorbachev period, the teaching of Soviet history in Soviet educational establishments reflected the line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), and the history of the Soviet Union was depicted as a dazzling success story. The excesses of the Stalin era, for example, were usually never mentioned or treated in a way that distorted reality. The aim of the teaching of Soviet history was to help develop a sense of Soviet patriotism The present defence relationships between Russia and the individual countries of Central Asia are generally characterised by mutual trust. This avoids the international squabbles and ambitions which come to the fore in more multilateral contexts. Furthermore, bilateral cooperation includes more specific and practical forms of interaction. These are detailed in this paper
