| Summary / Abstract (Note) | THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY, Russia has been geopolitically and geostrategically bound to Central Asia. Our ancestors understood this very well and regarded the Asian underbelly as the Russian Empire's buffer in the southeast. During Soviet times, this region turned from an important entity of foreign political interests into an integral part of the superpower. |
