“…He is the model for a "Chosen One" character in a novel released shortly after he became president. Another portrays him engaged in battle against Chechen militants, whom he disposes of and is wounded in the process (Rogatchevski 2008). The "West" is charged with excessive attention on Putin and its reportage reflects a strange liaison of autocrat and media icon.…”

The material dimension of Russian foreign and domestic policy is accompanied by one of images and performativity. The Putin regime has affective-emotional and instrumental motives. Its main target audience is the Russian public. Its principal adversary is the United States. The decisive external audience is the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), a pluralist entity that is also concerned with past and present images of itself. Politics in this critical international triangle is infused with theatrical, mediatized, and psychological elements, and the (re)construction of national and individual personae.

“…In the study of contemporary Russian foreign policy, there exists some tendency of putting Russia's President Vladimir Putin at the core of the analyses. We are not lacking works that discuss Putin's constructed persona (Popkova 2017), his traits (Eltchaninoff 2018), his political worldview (Richard 2020), and even Putin as a fictional character (Rogatchevski 2008). Nor is there a deficiency of works about "Putin's Russia" (Rosefielde 2021), "the Putin system" (Javlinskij 2019), "Putin's foreign policy" (Nalbandov 2016), "Putin's doctrine" (Hill and Ottorino 2010), "Putin's world" (Stent 2019), and "Putin's people" (Belton 2020).…”

This paper would be far from possible without the academic mentorship of Linus Hagström, to whom I am ever grateful for his insightful feedback on the earlier drafts of this essay, as well as his constant reassurance and receptive guidance throughout the writing process.In the light of the ongoing geopolitical tensions and the situation in Ukraine specifically, Russian foreign policy constitutes a puzzling area of social science research, particularly central to international relations (IR) scholarship. However, the academic discourse within the IR field often focuses too much on the rather visible layers of Russian politics, at times reducing Russian studies to solely "Putin studies." Overlooking the structural factors that have made it possible for Vladimir Putin to come to power predominantly invites a channeled agency-led perspective into Russian foreign policy. This review essay sheds light on the gap between agency and structure within Russian foreign policy analysis. Building on a focused review of three recent scholarly contributions on Russian political leadership, foreign policy, and national identity, it suggests that Russia can barely be understood unless looked upon through the intertwined lenses of agency and structure.
