The right to self-determination is renowned for its lack of clear
interpretation. Broadly speaking, one can differentiate between a
'classic' and a 'romantic' tradition. In modern international law,
the balance between these two opposing traditions is sought in an
attempt to contain or 'domesticate' the romantic version by
limiting it to 'abnormal' situations, that is cases of 'alien
subjugation, domination and exploitation'. This book situates
Russia's engagement with the right to self-determination in this
debate. It shows that Russia follows a distinct approach to
self-determination that diverges significantly from the consensus
view in international state practice and scholarship, partly due to
a lasting legacy of the former Soviet doctrine of international
law. Against the background of the Soviet Union's role in the
evolution of the right to self-determination, the bulk of the study
analyses Russia's relevant state practice in the post-Soviet space
through the prisms of sovereignty, secession, and annexation.
Drawing on analysis of all seven major secessionist conflicts in
the former Soviet space and a detailed study of Russian sources and
scholarship, it traces how Russian engagement with
self-determination has changed over the past three decades.
Ultimately, the book argues that Russia's approach to the right of
peoples to self-determination should not only be understood in
terms of power politics disguised as legal rhetoric but in terms of
a continuously assumed regional hegemony and exceptionalism, based
on balance-of-power considerations.
