International Affairs

A Russian Journal of World Politics, Diplomacy and International Relations

Offering unique, first-hand analysis of major foreign policy and security issues facing Russia and other former Soviet republics, this internationally renowned journal is the English translation of the Russian-language journal Mezhdunarodnaia zhizn, which is published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. The editorial board of this journal is traditionally headed by the foreign minister, while the journal’s contributors are primarily experienced, high-ranking diplomats and leading Russian international relations experts and scholars.
