Summary
This book examines Russia's military intervention in Syria beginning in 2015 and its broader implications for Russian foreign policy. Anna Borshchevskaya analyzes how the United States' reduced engagement in the Middle East created opportunities for Moscow to expand its influence in the region. The author explores Putin's strategic objectives in Syria, including supporting the Assad regime, challenging Western influence, and reestablishing Russia as a major power broker in Middle Eastern affairs. The work assesses the consequences of American disengagement and Russia's growing regional presence for international security and geopolitical dynamics.
