Russia’s invasion of Ukraine took by surprise not only politicians in many countries, but also experts who, for many years after the end of the Cold War, were confident of the growing mutual interdependence between Russian and European economies, and in the changing function of borders - from dividing to connecting. Most scholars have not only overlooked the aggressive potential inherent in the seemingly innocent calls for multipolarity carried out by the Russian leadership. This book discusses how the current war in Ukraine makes the scholarly community reconsider previous assumptions of Russia’s domestic regime and security policies, and think of novel approaches to study the Russia-produced insecurities. This edited volume calls for a scholarly audit of the academic legacy that has prevented most researchers and public intellectuals from not only predicting, but also considering as a serious possibility the full-scale war that Russia unleashed against Ukraine.
