Description:

From Donbas to Nagorno- Karabakh and from Syria to Caucasus, Putin’s Russia has been steadily but cautiously expanding its operations during the last two decades. Using a variety of different means and tactics, it seems that Russia has recalibrated its perception on the international power equilibrium and tried to re-establish itself as a great power with global reach. Ergo, as a revisionist power, it uses its set of tools from a previous era, to expand its influence taking advantage of endemic instability and weak institutions, investing its limited resources to harvest augmented gains.
