The debates on Russian foreign policy and, more generally, on the Russian self-image itself have always been about Russia's place in relation to the West. Is Russia European, or not? If it is not European, is it 'Asiatic' or some variant of its own distinctive self?2 If Russia is European, what must be done to integrate the country fully into Western civilization? Conversely, if Russia is distinctive, what must be done to protect it against the subversive forces of Western rationalism and liberalism?3 This debate goes to the heart of the Russian character and it emerges at times of crisis or transition: the era of Ivan IV and the Time of Troubles, of Peter I, during the late nineteenth century, and at the present time.KeywordsForeign PolicyLiberal Democratic PartyPeace TreatyIsland DisputeRussian RepublicThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
