What intrigues me is the use of the word "Space" in this context. Either

there's nuance about that word in Russian that isn't obvious to 
Westerners, or the three presidents are showing unusual mathematical 
knowledge for politicians... or they're thinking a long way ahead. 
Didn't the ESU /start /as the "Eurasian Union" in the GZGverse? Hmmm...
