Summary	"Putin's actions and Russia's position are sometimes discussed as though history just began in 1989, when the Soviet Union gave way to a Russian Federation struggling to reshape itself for the future. But major controversial international challenges are unfolding in a complex historical context whose roots in some cases extend back to the times of the Russian Empire or even to Kievan Rus, over 1000 years ago. Dr. Kreutz succinctly highlights some of the major trends in Russia's long history, and he outlines the negative and potentially dangerous aspects of the current situation. Writing in clear and concise language equally suited to the general public and to academics, journalists and other specialists. Dr. Kreutz suggests that Russia should not be treated as a defeated nation on probation. Rather, alongside China, it should be acknowledged as a great independent power with its own political traditions and interests. Only such an approach can secure international peace and cooperation in Europe and Asia, which are needed by all countries of the region and even the world at large"--Provided by publisher.
