This book examines the nature of Russias relations with the former Soviet states (FSS), in particular with countries which formed the Commonwealth of Independent States, in order to assess whether there has been a resurgence of Russian imperialism since the collapse of the USSR.The book sets out to determine whether Russian leaders have attempted to restore a sphere of influence over the former Soviet republics or whether Russias policies reflect a genuine desire to establish normal statetostate relations with the new states. It adopts a comprehensive approach, analysing Russias policies towards the FSS across a broad range of areas: energy, trade and investment; military assistance, security provision and peacekeeping; conflict management, political support, and alliance formation. While not denying the Kremlins assertive role in the FSS, this book challenges the assumption that Russia has always intended to restore a sphere of influence over its Near Abroad. Rather, it argues that Russias policies are much more complex, multifaceted, and often more incoherent than is often assumed. In essence, Russia's actions generally reflect a combination of legitimate state interests, enduring Soviet legacies, and genuine concerns over events unfolding along Russias borders. This book also shows that, at times, GreatPower nostalgia and a real difficulty with discarding Russias imperial legacy shapes Russias behaviour towards the FSS.This book will be of great interest to students of Russian politics and foreign policy, east European politics, and International Relations in general.
