The stability of the regime in Russia and international security

Abstract

The security of a state, especially a modern one, is a complex composition of national values and ambitions, as well as the development of instruments and potentials of the state to achieve the goals resulting from the social contract, which position the state as an entity of the international community with a specific profile and mode of functioning. A unique category of subjectivity and existence in the international arena is the functioning of states with an authoritarian and revisionist profile, as is contemporary Russia. This article analyzes the formula of Russian security policy, which consists of foreign and domestic policy, from which the author tries to isolate specific dependencies and consequences that result from the level of stability of the Russian regime, for global security. This is a legitimate problematic situation for several reasons. Firstly, the contemporary international security arena is looking for a formula to stabilize the unstable order, secondly, Russia remains a very active and insubordinate state in the contemporary global architecture, and thirdly, strategic concerns are raised by visions of Russia both as a failed state and as a totalitarian agent.
