ALLE ORIGINI DELL’EURASISMO RUSSO: LA TURCOFILIA DI KONSTANTIN LEONT’EV
No full textKonstantin Leont’ev (1831-1891) è stato straordinaria figura di diplomatico, scrittore e pubblicista il cui grande valore è stato spesso misconosciuto, in primo luogo a causa del suo orientamento apertamente reazionario. Leont’ev ha dato in effetti un’interpretazione quanto mai originale della specificità storica della Russia, ridimensionando l’importanza al suo interno dell’elemento slavo e sottolineando invece il decisivo ruolo organizzatore dell’eredità bizantina. Inoltre, Leont’ev è stato probabilmente il primo pensatore russo di rilievo a valutare in maniera non negativa il significato degli influssi orientali sulla Russia

Forward to the Past? New/Old Theatres of Russia’s International Projection
Full text linkRussia seems to be back in many “old” theatres where the Soviet Union was actively engaged. More than a quarter of a century after the fall of the USSR, it is clear that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has made restoring Russia’s great power status a primary goal of his twenty years in power. Political and historical links dating back to the Cold War have been capitalised upon to build fresh partnerships and cement or re-establish Russia’s influence in Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Just as the Soviet Union supported Western communist parties and ran disinformation campaigns, today’s Russia is accused of meddling with the electoral processes of several Western countries. What are the elements of continuity and change when comparing Russia’s foreign policy with the Soviet Union’s? This ISPI Report tackles the political, historical, military and economic dimensions of Russia’s return to old Soviet theatres of influence. In particular, it delves into their implications for the development of the multipolar world order long-advocated by Moscow
RUSSIA AND ARMENIA: THE COLLAPSE OF A CENTURIES-OLD ALLIANCE, Aldo Ferrari

n September 2023, Azerbaijan attacked
the Armenian-controlled area of NagornoKarabakh – Artsakh in Armenian. This territory,
formally part of Azerbaijan but de facto
controlled by Armenians, had been at the centre
of a bloody conflict between Baku and Yerevan
that lasted for over 30 years. The Azerbaijani
offensive only lasted for 24 hours and led to
the capitulation of the breakaway republic,
putting an end to Nagorno-Karabakh’s history
as a self-proclaimed entity. A mass exodus of
about 120,000 people to Armenia began. For
years now, Armenia and Azerbaijan have been
negotiating a peace agreement that could
bring about many potential “peace dividends”
in terms of economic development, trade and
regional connectivity, and social reconciliation
between the two peoples. However, the two
parties are yet to finalise this agreement,
despite progress made in bilateral talks and
numerous mediation attempts by the European
Union (EU). After a brief historical overview, we
shall review the main points of the controversy
on both sides, the obstacles to long-lasting
peace, and the stakes for the EU. The final
section provides a few policy recommendations
for the EU
