The Russian Federation began to overcome some of its residual political, economic, and military problems progressively after the demise of the Soviet Union, and since the end of the 1990s has begun to display a rather more assertive foreign and security policy. The main turning points of the Russian Federation’s aggressive resurgence can be identified as, first, during the Colored Revolutions which ended with Moscow’s intervention in 2008 in Georgia, and later, with the 2014 annexation of Crimea. The future is unclear, since the Kremlin has both advantages and serious disadvantages, especially in relation to her major rival, the United States. Join The SETA Foundation at Washington DC, as we discuss The New Geopolitical Realities for Russia, an edited volume published recently by Lexington books and edited by Prof. Nurşin Güney.
