The Battle for the East. From Turkestan to Palestine
19.99 €
Russia should address its side of the "Battle for the East" story. This book explores the most significant events of this struggle over the past 100 years: from the fight against the Basmachi in the 1920s to the current operation in the Middle East. These include the gradual elimination of the remnants of the Golden Horde, the advance of pioneering troops, and the annexation of the Caucasus and North Caucasus lands.
In its relations with Central Asia, Russia is primarily concerned with national security, including the so-far unsuccessful fight against drug trafficking and the persistent threat of terrorism.
Leading expert on Middle East issues, Semyon Bagdasarov, comprehensively answers the key questions in contemporary Russian politics:
- Why are relations with Asian countries—from Syria to China—no less important for Russia than relations with Europe and the United States?
- Why is the Eastern vector so important for Russian policy?
- Where is Russia's place in the modern world?
