Russia-Germany: Perceptions and Motives

In: Russia in Global Affairs, Band 18, Heft 4, S. 124-130

Abstract

The West has long been trying to decipher the "genome" of the Kremlin's policy. Many of these attempts are interesting and original, but there is at least one systemic problem in them—an attempt to find a universal model for explaining Russia's policy that would make it possible to understand it in its entirety, that is, to generalize separate events within one scheme.
