In the fourth century BC, a great ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle noted that "politics - πολιτική" is the art of government of the state.
More than two thousand years have passed since then, great empires were built and collapsed, ideologies, which were followed by thousands and millions of people around the world, were created and subverted, and the principles of government of any state and the basic laws of power have also remained attractive to those, who want to devote himself to this oldest and most difficult of the arts.
Power, money, influence on people’s minds, management of the masses - all this remain indispensable attributes of politics.
