Abstract
Individuals, ministries, and groups within the Russian polity have been instrumental in shaping Russia’s policy towards ‘challenger’ states in the post-Cold War period. This chapter assesses the priorities of the various actors in order to understand why Russian policies towards these states developed in the particular ways they did. Given the diversity of the cases assessed, one would imagine that the drivers of Russian policy would respond to varying strategic concerns.
