Russian Geopolitics after 2000 and Its Concept of Security in the Eurasian Area

The article raises the issue of understanding security in selected contemporary Russian geopolitical theories. The subject of the analysis is the neo-Eurasianist doctrine, the concept of Vadim Tsymbursky’s Island Russia; geoeconomic conceptions; the patriotic geopolitics of General Leonid Ivashov, surprisingly critical about the Kremlin’s policies, especially about the invasion of Ukraine; the considerations of Mikhail Deliagin and the evolving views of Sergei Karaganov, who ultimately aimed at a nuclear attack on targets in Europe. A review of these concepts indicates that we are dealing with views that make different diagnoses and therefore lead to different recommendations.
