“The notion of the Russian World extends far from Russia’s geographical borders and even far from the borders of the Russian ethnicity.”
Since his 2001 statement, Russian President Putin has institutionalized the ideology of Russkiy Mir, (Russian World), an old concept of expansionist policy as he viewed the collapse of the Soviet Union was an ideological calamity with it's loss of influence beyond motherland border.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24th 2022 is a new addendum of modern Russkiy Mir.
