In the pages that follow, we examine broad aspects of Russian political culture and threat perception, Russia’s reaction to NATO expansion2 and its information warfare and energy policies, as well as policy toward the Global South, especially the Middle East and Africa. The objective of our collective analyses is to explain the factors that infuence Russian foreign policy and, in particular, how and why Russian relations with the European Union and the United States have deteriorated so rapidly and so signifcantly in recent years after the dramatic improvement visible in the 1990s after the collapse of the former U.S.S.R.

The frst part of the volume, entitled “Sources and tools of Russian foreign policy,” examines broad aspects of Russian policy with an emphasis on those factors that infuence that policy, the means of forecasting it and the threat perceptions of Russian foreign policy decision-makers. More specifcally, in the frst chapter, “Russia’s self-image as a great power,” Dina Moulioukova, with Roger E. Kanet, traces the long historical development of Russia’s view of itself as one of the dominant states in the world. Already in the late Middle Ages, Russia emerged as a major European actor. In most respects, the Russians’ view of themselves continued as that of a great power during both the late Imperial and the Soviet periods; this view has reemerged in Putin’s Russia.
