Russian National Identity and Foreign Policy

[pieter]

In recent years, Russia's foreign policy has become considerably more asserting, posing a challenge to the United States and its Western allies. In his presentation, Igor Zevelev, a fellow at the Kennan Institute and a former visiting fellow at CSIS, will explore what is driving this shift from the Russian side. He will outline the ways in which Russian foreign policy doctrine today stems primarily from domestic ideas about Russian identity and the reasons why the impact of such thinking has become such a driving force in the past four years.

I must say, Mr. Igor Zevelev is quite well educated in this manner of foreign affairs as in this case, that of The Russian Federation. Although his message is to dissemination of Russian Foreign Policy is most likely is to meet the understanding of his audience as should be. whilst though his interpretation is one thing, will it be exact of the real thing?
