Important factors<br />like Russia’s deep economic crisis and weakened statehood with dangerous implications<br />further complicated the picture. The article shows that these factors conditioned the kind the<br />“Russia first” approach, whereby significant political support and financial assistance was<br />extended to the country to save its embattled allegedly pro-Western leadership, while a blind<br />eye was virtually turned to the early manifestations of Russia’s neo-imperial foreign policy.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal in Humanities}, author={MCHEDLISHVILI, George}, year={2016}, month={Aug.}, pages={51–52} }
