‘KGB state’ and Russian political and foreign policy culture / Marten, Kimberly   Journal Article
Marten, Kimberly Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article reviews a variety of historical analyses of the KGB and its follow-on organizations to determine whether and how its organizational culture may be reflected in current Russian politics and foreign policy. Using the suggestion by some analysts that a ‘soft coup’ using KGB methods of kompromat may have occurred in the late Yeltsin era, it analyzes how remnants of the KGB organization may be influencing the directions of President Vladimir Putin’s actions. It concludes with an argument about what this might mean for Russia after Putin and about why Russia’s unique intelligence culture may make a comparative theory of ‘intelligence states’ difficult to create.

Russian Foreign-Policy Culture and the Horde: a Hypothesis / Bordachev, Timofei V.   Journal Article
Bordachev, Timofei V. Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article scrutinizes the historical impact of the Mongolian Horde on Russia’s foreign policy behavior. The author comes up with a hypothesis that relations with the Horde were not only important for Russia during the critical historical period of its formation, but also largely determined its unique foreign-policy culture and practical implementation of Russian foreign policy in subsequent periods. The author maintains that the key element of this impact was peaceful integration of the powerful neighbor which posed the biggest threat to the Great Russians for more than two hundred years.
