This book explores how far messianism, the conviction that Russia
has a special historical destiny, is present in, and affects,
Russian foreign policy. Based on extensive original research,
including analysis of public statements, policy documents and
opinion polls, the book argues that a sense of mission is present
in Russian foreign policy, that it is very similar in its nature to
thinking about Russia's mission in Tsarist times, that the sense of
mission matters more for Russia's elites than for Russia's masses,
and that Russia's special mission is emphasised more when there are
questions about the regime's legitimacy as well as great power
status. Overall, the book demonstrates that a sense of mission is
an important factor in Russian foreign policy.
