Abstract
De jure recognition of Crimea as a part of Russia’s territory is not on the agenda of political discussions in France. Or, a noticeable part of French society, including its elite groups, does not share the vision of Ukrainian and Crimean events built on anti-Russian postulates. The Euro-Atlantic policy, greatly endorsed by the official leadership of the country and its dominant elites, invites skepticism and criticism not only within business environment, but also from French political, diplomatic, military and expert circles. Moreover, controversy on these issues highlights a new ideological division that is pushing back the classic left-right cleavage.
