Damian Strycharz fills this gap in the literature by analyzing leaders' perceptions and the interactions between internal and external factors shaping foreign policy decisions. Challenging existing interpretations of Russian foreign policy and advancing our understanding on how role dynamics occur in non-democracies, Strycharz examines Russia's reactions to the 2003-4 color revolutions in Georgia and Ukraine, the Five-Day War in Georgia and the Euromaidan Revolution. He argues that divergent reactions to these upheavals result from a profound change in the leadership perceptions of Russia's international responsibilities. Consequently, a shift in the understanding of Russia's international duties and departure from the Western partner role resulted in more assertive foreign policy behavior exemplified by the intervention in Georgia and the annexation of Crimea.
