Securitatea naþionalã a Federaţiei Ruse în postcomunism. De la occidentalizare la pragmatism
The national security of the Russian Federation in the post-Communist era. From Westernization to pragmatism

Summary/Abstract: Accounts of Russia’s increasing military power and preponderance in the international system are not so infrequent these days. Starting from this assumption, this paper makes a connection between the great array of perceptions and self-perceptions about Russia’s international role, on the one hand, and the conceptualization of national security in strategic documents drafted after 1993, on the other. Therefore, the analysis entails an evolving and comparative approach of Russia’s national security documents, from the hesitant attempts in the early post-communism to regain international status to the development of a steady concern to engender a new international order in which Russia has a systemic significance.
