| Summary / Abstract (Note) | When Russia intervenes, according to analyst Olga Oliker, the result is not the respect that Moscow seeks but a reputation for unpredictability. A policy of anti-American opportunism renders many of the Kremlin’s relationships transactional and fleeting. Oliker argues that until Russia develops a more intentional foreign policy, the country’s direct influence won’t extend beyond its neighborhood. |
