Ismayilov covers the creation and transformation behind Russia's post-Soviet perspectives on Ukraine and Georgia and explores the panorama of post-Soviet Russia's foreign policy from the 1990s up to the turbulent present, in which Ukraine and Georgia's pro-Western orientations have remained a core concern of the Kremlin. Thoughtfully, Russia is fighting against being rated as a declining regional power and confronts a palpable clash of Russian nationalism and Western liberal democracy.-- UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=2906986 ER -
