Following the beginning of the Ukraine crisis in 2022, Russia accelerated its so-called pivot to East, using diplomacy, trade, energy,infrastructure logistics, and identity, due to the rapid decoupling from Russia by the United States and the West across all directions. The timing, depth, and significance of this pivot to East are unparalleled,but its implementation continues to face much uncertainty. At present,this turn to East does not entail a permanent turn away from the West on the part of Russia, nor does it mean that Russia will only rely on the East, and still less does it imply any transformation of Russia’s national identity. On the contrary, as a center of sovereignty in the world and with its unique national civilization, Russia will continue to rely more on its own strength and shoulder its unique historical mission in the current period of change in the international order.
