An Antiquated Superpower
Russia and the West
Russia feels threatened by the West which is one of the official Russian justifications for invading the Ukraine. And yet for centuries Russia, in its repeated emulation of both Europe and the United States, has measured its own success in technological, economic and cultural terms by how far it has ‘caught up’.
From the time of Peter the Great and his wish to impose westernisation on Russia, there has always been a profoundly ambivalent thread woven through Russian history: the West as the role model and the West as bogeyman. Manfred Hildermeier, the renowned expert on Russian history, writes about this difficult relationship while at the same time facilitating our understanding of Putin’s combative policies in present times.
