It examines Russia's interactions with the West, its self-perception as a 'velikaya derzhava' (great power), and its impact on international relations. The author delves into the origins and evolution of Russia's notion of greatness, the theatrical elements of its power display, and the challenges it faces in modernizing while maintaining its identity. The book also discusses the rise and fall of international socialist greatness in Russia and the implications of its great power rhetoric in the post-Soviet era. Aimed at scholars and students of international relations, political science, and Russian studies, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of Russia's quest for global influence.$7Generated by AI. 410 0$aConfigurations: Critical Studies of World Politics Series 606 $aRussia (Federation)$7Generated by AI 606 $aInternational relations$7Generated by AI 615 0$aRussia (Federation) 615 0$aInternational relations. 700 $aReshetnikov$b Anatoly$01775142 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910805670703321 996 $aChasing Greatness$94289535 997 $aUNINA
