Originally published on 2 Dec 2025.

Last week I did an interview with a young Chinese academic about China’s approach toward West Asia and especially Palestine. Today we want to do the same for Russia to understand the complex relationship Moscow has with the region. Here to help with this task is Dr. Maria Kicha.Dr. Kicha holds a PhD in Law and she is currently serving as an Associate Professor at the Russian State University of Justice in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
