Wykorzystanie quasi-państw w polityce zagranicznej Federacji Rosyjskiej
Using the quasi-States in the Russia’s Foreign Policy

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to address the question: how is Russia using the quasi-states in its Foreign Policy? Generally, country’s foreign policy is focused to achieve four main goals 1) to increase its security; 2) to increase its international position and prestige; 3) to enhance its strength; and 4) to optimize the rules in the international environment. Russia helps to survive such quasi-states as Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria and (through Armenia) also the Nagorno-Karabakh because thanks to them Russia controls its sphere of influence in the post-Soviet area. Since 2014 in Donetsk and Lugansk (Ukraine) Russia is creating another quasi-states, what confirms the effectiveness of the quasi-states as an instrument in the Russia’s foreign policy.
