The following comparative case study examines Russian foreign policy since the creation of the Russian Federation. The study aims to explain if and to what extent the Russian interference in armed conflicts have changed during Vladimir Putin's administration compared to Boris Yeltsin's. The study seeks systemic explanations to Russian involvement in armed conflicts by examining them from a structural realist perspective, and seeks cultural and indigenous russian explanations to russian involvement by examining them from a putinist perspective.
