Russian Leverage on the CIS and the Baltic States

A new report from FOI aims to identify Russia's foreign policy levers, analyse how they have been used and assess how strong they are in the context of the former Soviet Union. This has been done by assessing five clusters of levers, namely political, human-based, energy, economic and military ones. In doing this, a pattern of how Russia uses its levers emerges.
