JOURNAL OF SOVIET AND POST-SOVIET POLITICS AND ...

Special Sections: Russian Foreign Policy Towards the Near Abroad and Russia's Annexiation of
Crimea II This special section deals with Russia's post-Maidan foreign policy towards the
so-called near abroad  or the former Soviet states. This is an important and timely topic  as
Russia's policy perspectives have changed dramatically since 2013 2014  as have those of its
neighbors. The Kremlin today is paradoxically following an aggressive realist agenda that seeks
to clearly delineate its sphere of influence in Europe and Eurasia while simultaneously
attempting to promote soft-power and a historical-civilizational justification for its recent
actions in Ukraine (and elsewhere). The result is an often perplexing amalgam of policy
positions that are difficult to disentangle. The contributors to this special issue are all
regional specialists based either in Europe or the United States.
