W A rITH THE COLLAPSE OF THE SOVIET UNION Russian attention has been with'V V drawn from outlying areas of the Asia-Pacific region and refocussed upon Northeast Asia. The process of withdrawal from peripheral areas began with Gorbachev who attempted to revise Soviet policy towards the Asia-Pacific region by distinguishing between vital and minor interests. As a consequence of Gorbachev's reassessment of strategic interests, relations with major Asian actors such as China and Japan, the economic need to develop the Soviet Far East, and multilateral security were given first place on the Soviet Asia-Pacific agenda. Those positions that were associated with the Brezhnev regime's intention of supplanting Western influence in Third World areas were progressively discarded, as was the desire to compete with the West as an alternative superpower. In this sense, continuity with the Gorbachev period was maintained as the Russian Republic allowed preexisting trends to take their natural course and to lead to their inevitable conclusion. Despite continuity with the Gorbachev past, however, there was one fundamental difference between Gorbachev's foreign policy aims and those of the present Russian Republic
