Abstract

The February 2022 military invasion of Ukraine by President Vladimir Putin, which overturned the very foundations of the world order, was not the result of a recent change in Putin’s thinking or personality; rather it was the inevitable outcome of the Russian policy of imperialism ongoing since the early 2000s. The assertions of former reformist leaders who ingratiated themselves to Putin after 2003, such as Anatoly Chubais, are accurate predictions of Putin’s behavior today. In particular, the Putin administration’s policy shift in June 2006 from an emphasis on “territorial integrity” to an emphasis on the “right to self-determination” is the basis for the subsequent war in Georgia, the annexation of Crimea, and today’s Ukraine problem. The West and Japan did not realize the seriousness of the policy shift in 2006 and continued their policy of appeasement toward Russia, resulting in the current situation. There will be no radical change in Russia after Putin.
普京入侵乌克兰的历史背景
2022年2月,弗拉基米尔·普京总统对乌克兰的军事入侵推翻了世界秩序的基础,这并不是普京思想或个性最近发生变化的结果;相反,这是21世纪初以来俄罗斯帝国主义政策的必然结果。2003年后讨好普京的前改革派领导人,如阿纳托利·丘拜斯的断言,是对普京今天行为的准确预测。特别是,2006年6月,普京政府的政策从强调“领土完整”转向强调“自决权”,这是随后格鲁吉亚战争、吞并克里米亚和今天乌克兰问题的基础。西方和日本没有意识到2006年政策转变的严重性,继续对俄罗斯采取绥靖政策,导致了目前的局面。普京之后,俄罗斯不会发生根本性的变化。
