Abstract
Defining the interests of the state in reference to its geographical location is the
key element to understanding political actions being taken by the Russian Federation in
an international domain.
The geographical location of Russia has been influencing for centuries the way
of perceiving the world by the Moscow leadership elites. Starting in the 16th century they
have been forced to pursue their policy in three main directions: The Western one (from
the Baltic Sea to theCarpathian Mountains), The Southern one (from the Danube River to
Persia) and The Eastern one (from the Volga River to the Altai Mountains).
Keywords: state interest, geographical location, Dugin, geopolitical doctrine.
