| Summary / Abstract (Note) | IN RECENT YEARS, Russia's foreign policy has been swinging eastward, toward Asia-Pacific, with unprecedented rapidity and confidence. But nothing would be further from the truth than the idea that this is a reaction to the Western sanctions. It is a course based on sound principles and the understanding of the nature of the national interests of Russia as a Eurasian, Asia-Pacific, and, in broader terms, Euro-Pacific power. The basis for this policy was laid by Yevgeny Primakov, who was the foreign minister of Russia from 1996 to 1998. |
