L’Ucraina nel processo di ricostruzione della sfera
d’influenza russa
After the collapse of Soviet Union, many scholars looked at
the future of the international system as a long period of
unipolarity. The attacks of 09/11/2011 vanished these
hypothesis and the trend in the political thought was the
arising of a new bipolar system, based on the United States-
China competition. Also this position is a deep-rooted
misunderstanding about the end of the Cold War and the
internal conditions of Russia in the Nineties. Nowadays the
United States and Russia are competing again. In the Putin and
Medvedev era, Russian hard power has been restored and the new
political narrative of Russkiy Mir has been implemented.
Ukraine, due its significance in terms of history, national
identity and strategic relevance, is the first important
theatre where the renewed Russian power would be tested.
