Problems of post-communism, 03/2024, Volume: 71, Issue: 2Journal Article
Vladimir Putin seeks to build a modern Russian empire on the post-Soviet space, as confirmed by the invasion of Ukraine. In the present article, the author shows why modern Russia represents a geopolitical project called "Putin's Empire," and what the ideological justifications for this empire are. The author also proposes to consider what is happening as a clash of different forms of imperial orders-neoliberal democracy and the concept of the "Russian world." The author concludes that Russia, as an empire, is in a protracted political crisis, but this does not mean the empire will disintegrate.
