This article looks back at the hits and misses made by the Russian Federation since the 1980s, with the arrival of Perestroika and the break-up of the Soviet Union. Since then radical and contradictory restructuring and reform processes have developed in the Soviet and post-Soviet space that are without precedent in the national political panorama. Amidst liberal reforms, the attempt to democratize society, the flourishing of nationalism and the new idea of Russia, internal wars advance and retreat almost simultaneously. Russia returns to the international stage as a major, leading power, displaying notable advances in the political, social and economic order compared to previous decades, including the Leonid Brezhnev epoch in the 1970s.
