Russia has inherited the status of a great world power on the
basis of its history, geopolitical position, military might and
diplomatic importance. Despite its weak economy, Russia still
poses a credible nuclear threat to the USA. It has been
maintaining its influence and control in its traditional sphere of
influence—the Baltics, the Caucasus and Central Asia. However,
the changing regional strategic environment, especially in Middle
East and South Asia, has compelled Russia to look beyond its
immediate security realm to safeguard its traditional areas of
interests. The enhanced strategic cooperation between India and
the US, possible US exit from Afghanistan, and the growing
strains in Pak-US relations are luring Russia to expand its role in
the South Asian region.
