About this report
Russian risk should not be framed as a cyclical or episodic threat that rises and falls with leadership changes or discrete crises; it is anchored in structural drivers that are unlikely to dissipate quickly.
The country’s strategic culture treats war and security as a continuum rather than an exception, linking military planning to deep perceptions of vulnerability shaped by geography, history, and long-run institutional practice. This lens privileges resilience, depth, and the management of time over rapid, decisive campaigns.
