Features: Since the transformation of the Soviet Union more than 10 years ago, compared to the superpower that once stood shoulder to shoulder with the United States, today's Russia appears somewhat stumbling. However, the wheels of history always roll forward, and Russia no longer needs to look back. As the saying goes, "the mistakes of the are the warnings for the followers," this book reviews and analyzes a series of issues from the perspectives of theory and history during the cycle of Russia—Soviet Union—Russia. This includes the security model of this giant country, its former remote control over Eastern Europe, its pivotal role in European security, and its relationship with NATO, among others. It also looks ahead to how a new European security system will form.
