Since his Munich Security conference speech in 2007 Vladimir Putin has identified the West as Public Enemy No 1. Since then he has employed a variety of instruments from cyber-attacks to information warfare to undermine the Western democratic order.Less well-known is his reference since the Valdai conference in 2013 to Russia as a civilizational state with privileged civilizational interests in countries with significant Russian diasporas. The discourse is one in which the West is identified as an eternal and perpetual enemy of Russia’s cultural identity. It's becoming clear that Russia is on a collision course with the Western world.In this episode of NUPI podcast, Christopher Coker, professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics, gives his take on the situation.
