Summary/Abstract: The Mediterranean basin, and especially the Eastern Mediterranean, has been evaluated a strategically important region since ancient times. This importance continues today because it is located at the junction of the maritime trade routes. Moreover, the Eastern Mediterranean region in particular is on the approach route to the southern part of the Russian territory, where the strategic depth is the least. Therefore, the Eastern Mediterranean is also militarily crucial for Russia, which wants to start the forward defense from this region in order to protect its lands. This study will examine the Russia’s interest in the Eastern Mediterranean.
