| Summary/Abstract |
Two types of strategic cultures developed by Europe and America were the subjects of numerous policy analyses. Divergences in Russian and European views on the world are obvious as well: postmodern Europe contrasts with Russia as a traditional power. Traditionalism of Russian strategic culture is investigated in this article with the help of key official foreign and security policy documents. The author argues that Russia's strategic vision is reminiscent of the American realist model of security culture in which superpower mentality, national interests, sovereignty, and force play a major role.
