Abstract: Russia's entire public organization is verticalized, and capitalism "à la russe" is reminiscent of an authoritarian plutocracy, dominated by a small number of oligarchs who directly or indirectly own all of the Federation's strategic sectors. After the crisis of the military-industrial complex, the Russian economy sought to develop in the civilian sector, especially in the hydrocarbon sector. At the beginning of the 21st century, Russia no longer wanted to renounce the power policy of the USSR, even if the rhetoric remained moderate. The war in Chechnya, then those of South Ossetia and Abkhazia testifies to the concern to recover the Russian-speaking territories in the bosom of the Federation and its special links with Belarus. However, the rapid advance of NATO to the gates of its borders seems to be prompting Moscow to react and to condemn the duplicity of the United States and Europe, which are not keeping their promise not to expand NATO towards Eastern Europe. Russia has not lost its taste for power and wants to keep its "historical" influence on all the territories they once dominated.
