Our programme focuses on the Russian Federation’s strategic manoeuvres within the post-Soviet space, with special attention given to Central Asia and the Caucasus, as Moscow views these regions as crucial for geopolitical leverage and security considerations because part of the Russian blizhnee zarubezhe (near abroad) and lebensraum (vital space).

Moreover, our inquiry extends to the Middle East and Africa, with a keen eye on decoding Russia’s strategic imperatives in these regions.

Looking at the words of the Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation, Sergei Evgenievich Naryshkin, expressed in his article for the Journal “Razvedchik” published in December 2023, Africa can become a potential battleground between the West and Russia, reflecting the developing dynamics of the multipolar world.
