Реферат Russian Foreign Policy





sake of building democracy was more pragmatic. Hypothesis about solidarity of actions has been more impregnated with ideology. On the level of practice both of them intertwined. But once accustomed to perceive the world primarily through the prism of ideology, as was customary in the Soviet Union, the new leaders of Russia (Boris Yeltsin's entourage and the president himself) exaggerated the role of solidarity with the West, seeing it as a tool to ensure a favorable international environment.

The Russian government has avoided to clearly indicate its national interests regarding foreign policy, identifying them with those of democratic countries, " the world community of democracies "in general.
