Abstract: After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, international politics entered in a unipolar period, typified by the United States. But, after Vladimir Putin came to Kremlin, Russia became more pragmatic, more aggressive, earning its influence on its former strategic sphere. It became a power center, and, along with other emerging powers, counterbalanced the United States hegemony, bring the internațional arena into multipolarity. The aim of this paper is to explain, from the realistic point of view, the notion of power and to show if Russia achieved its great power status or it remains at the regional one
