Abstract

Is there any prospect of an end to the deterioration of relations between the EU and Russia? Irina Busygina explains that Vladimir Putin's strategy for maintaining domestic support has focused on the construction of external threats and the promotion of an image of 'Russian greatness' on the international stage. But by putting foreign policy in the service of domestic goals, Putin has created a situation where he can’t make any concessions to Europe, and where European concessions to Russia are useless.
