Abstract

Russia’s return to the Middle East was motivated by a number of cultural, historical, political, and economic factors that have been driving its policy toward the region for centuries. Moscow’s policies have been formulated as a response to global transformations and to a period of high uncertainty. The practice of regime change, terrorists’ activities, and the increasing frequency of military interventions all pose new challenges to Russia. The Middle East in the 2000-s presented Moscow with a window of opportunity, when it came to Syria and managed to strengthen or to establish ties with the main regional actors. Moscow has become an important political and economic player and has demonstrated its ability to be a game changer.
