| Summary/Abstract |
The author analyzes the impact of the current Ukrainian crisis on the political structure of the post-Soviet region and national security of the Azerbaijan Republic. The events that have been unfolding in Ukraine since 2014 can be described as the acutest crisis in the relations between the Russian Federation and the West since the end of the Cold War, while the emerging situation is fraught with changes at the regional level and in the security context of all the post-Soviet states.
At the regional level, these changes have added to structural instability and, hence, transitivity. Azerbaijan, as a regional state, is facing greater structural risks accompanied by much fewer economic and political opportunities to implement its national security strategy.
