Abstract/Index
The historical relationship between Russians and Ukrainians: one people or distinct nations? The arrival of the Slavs. The Kyivan Rus, the first State of the Eastern Slavs, a common homeland? From the destruction of Kievan Rus to the kingdom of Moscow. The rise of Moscow: from the gran-duchy to the epicenter of the Eurasian empire. The Russian invasion of Ukraine. An analysis embedded in the study of the cyclical history of expansion and contraction of the Russian empire. Russian-Ukrainian war in the international context: how the conflict can change the global order. One State, one continent. The Russian geographic giant. Strategy and tactics of the Russian empire. Strategy and tactics of the tsarist empire. Strategy and tactics of the Soviet empire. The double-edged sword of Russian energy resources. How the export of raw materials enabled the resurrection of the Russian empire after the collapse of the USSR and the current strategic risk of supply China after the start of the invasion of Ukraine. The structural limits of the post-Soviet Russian empire. Factors that amplified the collapse of the USSR: the ability of the American empire to accelerate the crisis of the highly centralized soviet system, isolated and dependent on raw material export. A case study to analyse how the strategic limitations of the Russian empire can undermine the ambitions of the post-Soviet Russian empire. The post-soviet Russian empire. Putin’s thesis and the imperial renaissance based on the control and export of energy resources. The strategic danger of having replaced China with Europe as a trading partner following the war in Ukraine. The conservative Christian Eurasian empire: ideology and ambition of the post-Soviet Russian empire, a maximalist actor limited by its strategic limits that has returned a great power through the exploitation of its resources and challenges American hegemony with asymmetric wars.
