The Battle for the East: From Turkestan to Palestine – A deep dive into Russia’s historical and modern struggle for influence across Asia and the Middle East.
This book examines Russia’s “battle for the East” over the last century, covering key events from the 1920s campaign against the Basmachi movement to current operations in the Middle East. It explores the gradual dissolution of the Golden Horde’s remnants, the expansion of pioneering detachments, and the annexation of lands in the Caucasus and North Caucasus. In its relations with Central Asia, Russia prioritizes national security, including the ongoing—and still unsuccessful—fight against drug trafficking and the persistent threat of terrorism.
Leading Middle East expert Semyon Bagdasarov provides comprehensive answers to critical questions in modern Russian policy: Why are relations with Asian countries—from Syria to China—as important to Russia as ties with Europe and the United States? Why is the eastern vector so crucial for Russian strategy? And where does Russia stand in today’s world?
