| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Dissolution of the USSR and the end of the Cold War had transformative impact on geopolitical environment of Europe. In a changed environment, initially Russia moved towards Western countries and organizations for a closer partnership. Early enthusiasm, however, did not last long and a disillusioned Russia changed the course of its foreign policy from western-orientation to multipolar orientation. At the turn of the 21st century, President Putin adopted a pragmatic approach to cooperate with the West in a framework of fight against terrorism. |
