IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY, the Russian public recognized the great reforms of Prime Minister of Russia Pyotr Stolypin for what they were, viz. a "complete overhaul of everything in Russia." They stretched beyond the limits of the empire's domestic policies yet their foreign policy dimension and its impact on Russia's diplomacy remain little studied so far. History has taught us that none of the European states, including Russia, can pursue successful domestic policies without an efficient and well-substantiated foreign policy geared at the country's national interests. This is doubly important in the periods of reforms when newly established state and social institutions change the country's makeup. Foreign policy can be best described as a time-tested instrument the state has been using and continues to use to harmonize the aims of its domestic and foreign policy and achieve their unity for the sake of state (widened today to national) interests. |
