Abstract
Russian officials are heard increasingly often to proclaim the country's status as a 'great power'. This article examines how the country's perceptions of its role in world affairs have evolved since the declining years of the Soviet Union. The author identifies two dominant paradigms, the 'Ideological and Imperial' and the 'New Thinking', and discusses the reasonsfor the ebb andflow of the latter in the years since Russia's establishment as a sovereign state after the collapse of the USSR.
