Russian Expert Bordachev: Over The Two Years Of The Syrian Campaign, Russia Gained Power And Prestige – Izvestia

On September 29, 2017, Russian expert Timofei Bordachev published an analysis, “For Ourselves And For The World – Over The Two Years Of The Syrian Campaign, Russia Has Strengthened Its International Standing And Changed The Global Rules Of The Game,” in the Russian newspaper Izvestia. The article marks the second anniversary of the Russian military operation in Syria, and analyzes its consequences for the entire “world order.” According to Bordachev, the Russian military operation in Syria rehabilitated the role of Moscow in the global state, writing: “In the middle of the last century, a prominent American international politics expert, Hans Morgenthau, wrote: ‘Nations struggle for power and prestige.’ This phrase is an excellent answer to the question ‘What has the Syrian operation given Moscow?'”
