The Putin regime continued to make bold use of force, both conventional as in the case of Syria and Ukraine and non-conventional or non-linear measures as in the case of the cyber-attacks on the US. As well as making active foreign policy choices, it was also a year in which Russia seemed to profit from many other international trends. In particular, the apparent rise of populism in the West, symbolized by Donald Trump’s election to the US presidency in November. Whilst we will have to wait until 2017 to see how these events are translated into policy-making in practice, the Putin regime does seem to be ending this year on a high. date: 2016-12-22 official_url: https://css.ethz.ch/en/publications/rad.html oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1601944 confidential: false lyricists_name: Snetkov, Aglaya lyricists_id: ASNET03 actors_name: Snetkov, Aglaya actors_id: ASNET03 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Russian Analytical Digest number: 195 pagerange: 11-24 citation: Snetkov, A; (2016) Gambles That May Actually Pay Off?—Russian Foreign Policy.
