This three articles in this edition of the RAD look at 1) the Kremlin’s efforts to ensure a smooth run-up to the 2018 Russian Presidential election, noting how major challenges still lie ahead; 2) how Russia’s economic recovery during 2017 may have stalled, but that it’s too simplistic to characterize the country’s economy as stagnant; and 3) Russia’s foreign policy during 2017, including how the country sought to maintain a pivotal role in individual security crises as well as expand its international position and global alliances.
