Researchers and politicians nowadays point out that Russia is back on the world stage. The country is involved in a big geopolitical game in which the Balkans are a major hotspot. Dimitar Bechev goes beyond the stereotypes and offers a sober analysis not only of Russia's influence on Southeastern Europe but also the substantial limitations to that influence. He dispels the myth that the countries in the region and their leaders are just victims of Moscow's perfidy. Southeastern Europe is an arena for rivalry between an ambitious Kremlin, which has clear goals but lacks the means to achieve them, and a hesitant West, which is in two minds about how to respond to the challenge, Bechev argues.
