Throughout her history both recent and distant, Russia has
been involved in numerous conflicts (see “Brief History of Russia”). Some of these
conflicts are still influencing the politics of this nation as well as her
relations with almost all the neighbors.
We hope that you will find this resource quite helpful
if you are interested in finding out more about Russian political culture,
recent history and both foreign and domestic policy.
