  • Summary

    This chapter examines the Russian Federation’s policy towards its diaspora, which focuses on Russians living in the former Soviet Union. A deliberately expansive understanding of who counts as a Russian abroad, combined with a set of policies that aim to co-opt said diaspora, aim to make Russia’s diaspora an instrument of soft power in the territories of the former Tsarist and Soviet empires. Additionally, protection of this diaspora has provided a pretext for military intervention on no fewer than five occasions. The Russian diaspora thus becomes a tool in Russia’s pursuit of renewed regional hegemony.
