This comprehensive historical analysis traces Russia's evolution from the 9th-century Kievan Rus' to its current geopolitical standing in 2025. It highlights three enduring themes that have consistently shaped Russian identity and statehood. These themes include a persistent drive for a strong, centralized, and often authoritarian state, an ambivalent and complex relationship with the West characterized by cycles of emulation and antagonism, and a strategic imperative for territorial expansion driven by its challenging geography and a deep-seated sense of insecurity. The text examines how these interconnected patterns have manifested across various eras, from the Tsardom through the Soviet Union and into the modern Russian Federation, ultimately informing its contemporary actions on the global stage.

Research done with the help of artificial intelligence, and presented by two AI-generated hosts.
