In which areas has the Russian state claimed, since its origins, the legitimacy of government? If the construction and affirmation of a country's identity rarely avoid war, can we say that Russia is by nature more belligerent than its neighbors? Do we fight in the same way in Russia and in Europe? Is the Orthodox Church a relay of expansionism? Do the wars of the Soviet Empire obey the same geopolitical logic as those of the tsars? In the case of Russia, there is an absolute necessity to go back to the origins to understand the present.
