Summary:For all the change Russia has gone through in the post-Soviet period, the threads of continuity run deeply and strongly throughout Russian politics and society - including its foreign policy. President Putin's current aggressive bid to subjugate Ukraine, bringing it back firmly into Russia's orbit, is entirely consistent with the Kremlin's longstanding strategic outlook and concerns. It is also an objective Putin has pursued, in various ways, throughout his 22-year-long presidency. Broadly, Putin's overriding objective has been to restore Russia's place as a country acknowledged and respected internationally as a great power and an indispensable partner in managing global and regional issues.
