Return as a world power
In the 1990s, the situation in Russia was dramatically poor. . The Soviet empire had disintegrated and the economy was at a standstill.
In 2000 Vladimir Putin
In 2000 Vladimir Putin
became president. He felt
the decline was unbearable
and and wanted to make
Russia a strong state, that
was internationally respected.
In order to get the economy going, he carried out far-reaching reforms. With the proceeds, he reinforced the army. In this way, he restored Russia's position of power from before.

An authoritarian regime
In Putin's Russia, there is little room for criticism. Critics of the regime, such as Navalny, were/are often arrested and imprisoned. Putin opts for an authoritarian style of government: authority lies with him and his confidants. Elections are held regularly, but opponents of the regime do not get a fair chance. The state monitors the media and forces them to support Putin.

Uprising in Ukraine
Putin doesn't want the West to have any influence in Russia's neighbouring countries. When Ukraine wanted to conclude a treaty with the EU, Putin was vehemently opposed to it. He put pressure on the Ukrainian president not to sign the treaty. But when he refused to sign, a bloody uprising broke out in Kiev. The Ukrainian president was deposed and a pro-Western government took over.

Annexation of Crimea
Putin found the change of power in Ukraine unacceptable. He wanted to punish the country and show the world that Russia would not allow itself to be overrun.
As a target he chose Crimea: a peninsula in the Black Sea, which Russia had given to Ukraine in 1954. In early 2014, Russian military forces took over power there. Here you see them at a blockade. A year later, Crimea was incorporated into Russia.
