Nowadays, Russian politics constitutes an endless subject of worldwide discussions
and debates. The way Russia managed to get reorganized after the collapse of the
Soviet Union and become one of the leading powers on the global political
chessboard, as well as how this evolution is regarded by the United States and the
West in general, are the main themes of this dissertation.
The methodological approach followed in this dissertation is the Think
Tanks’ research. Both the U.S. and Russian Think Tanks analyse deeply the internal
and external politics of Russia. The external politics issues examined in the
dissertation are divided into two subunits: the relations of Russia with NATO and
the United States and the relations with its neighbours. The internal politics of
Russia are analysed as they are and they are related to the legislative framework, the
democratic existence and the galore of other internal subjects, such as the politicalparliamentary
system, the elections and others.
By citing articles authored by both U.S. and Russian Think Tanks and by
critically analyzing them, we hope to create a possibly clearer image regarding the
ambiguous and, for some, complicated, yet interesting and definitely special politics
of Russia. The target is drafting an explicit image of Russian politics seen through
and toned by those Think Tanks.
