Russia is back as a major force in global politics, but what does
this mean? Is Russia the dangerous revisionist foe that meddles in
Western elections and tries to subvert the liberal international
order? Or is it a country precariously trying to maintain security
and enhance prosperity at home, while re-asserting its place as a
great power in the world today? In this book, renowned Russia
scholar Richard Sakwa explores current debates on Russia, placing
them in historical context and outlining the fundamental challenges
currently facing the country. Post-communist Russia had to grapple
with a unique set of problems, including reconstituting the
political system, rebuilding the economy, re-imagining the nation,
and rethinking Russia's place in the world. The solutions are still
being sought, but this hard-hitting study argues that the failure
to create an international system in which Russia's transformation
became part of a revised world order has made the search far more
difficult than it may otherwise have been. Although Russia is one
of the oldest states in Europe, in its contemporary guise it is one
of the youngest. Russia has had many pasts and, given its size,
centrality and complexity, it will also have many futures.
