Abstract
A number of ‘concepts’ and ‘doctrines’ relating to foreign policy have been articulated in Russia since 1993. Their initial purpose was to establish Russia’s new identity and fill the vacuum left by Marxism-Leninism. They also served to establish a consensus about the main principles of Russian foreign policy. Later concepts responded to perceived changes in Russia’s internal and external environment. They provide a map by which one can chart the evolution of Russian thinking about the world and Russia’s place in it. Although they reflect Russia’s current national values and fulfil important roles, they represent an attempt to deal with the end of ideology, rather than an endeavour to create a substitute ideology.
