In the last few years Russian foreign policy has become increasingly motivated by aggressive isolationism. The relations between Moscow and the West are at their lowest point since the 1980s. Could we expect a change? What are the sources of Russia's new foreign policy? Are Russia's moves dominated mainly by legitimate geopolitical concerns or are the Kremlin's moves primarily driven by the domestic political concerns and the fears for the survival of Putin's political regime? Is Russia's military involvement in Syria an opportunity for a more cooperative relationship between Russia and the EU or is the recent confrontation between Russia and Turkey a sign for troubles to come?<\/p>\n
