Abstract:

After the breaking up of the former Soviet Union, Russia found itself losing its regional and international roles, especially when the N.A.T.O extended to east Europe. As a reaction to this situation, Russian Federation decided, when Mr. Vladimir Putin took office in 1999, to re-establish control over positions and geographical regions of strategic importance, which were under the sphere of the former Soviet-Union. Through those regions, the energy , which is the backbone of the Russian economy, was transferred to Europe by pipelines., therefore Russian Federation didn’t hesitate to take control of regions like Georgia and Ukraine. Moreover Russia maintained a military presence in Syria to guaranty the operations of its military bases in Tartus port and prove that it is a major player facing the American influence in the middle east region.
