Historicko-geografické determinanty OvplyvňUJÚCE zahraničnopolitickú ideovú orientáciu Ruskej federácie
Historical and Geographical Determinants Influencing Foreign Policy Orientation of Russian Federation

Summary/Abstract: This article presents selected historical and geopolitical events contributing to formation od specific Russian identity throughout its earliest times up to security developments in 21st century. Cultural awareness formed by those events does contribute to current Russian foreign policy formulation no only to relation to its „near neighborhood“, but also within broader ontological forces shaping current processes of globalization. Ontological narrative of specific Russian „Self “ within international security environment does shape its actions in world affairs. and to a significant degree can point to likely future behavior. Such onto-logically based security behavior will be thus based more on epistemological rather than on „rational actor behavior“ approach. We will try to prove this concept throughout the text by defining driving forces forming identity of Russian federation and consequently on two major security involvements in Ukraine and in Syria.
