Introduction
The claim to the status of a global and sovereign power is at the heart of Vladimir Putin’s geopolitical project for his country since his arrival in the Kremlin in 2000. In the competition that today opposes Russia to asserted or rising powers, global or regional, on the international stage, Russia has undeniable assets, but it must also deal with weaknesses. This dossier examines through the lens of the perspective of the resurgence of power five fields invested by the Kremlin in its logic of recomposition of influence: Eurasia, the deployment of a soft power by Moscow, the Asian vector of Russia’s foreign policy, the Russian nuclear posture and the cyberspace. Through the analysis of successes and failures as well as the formulation of perspectives for each of these themes, this dossier aims at offering a better grasp of the contours of a Russian power redefining itself in the face of the new international disorder.
