Otherwise, these preferences work against Russia’s interests, at least as seen by the Kremlin. The stronger Russia’s statehood and economy (based respectively on a centralized model and skyrocketing energy prices), the tougher its political stance toward the NIS. Energy prices and energy transit are becoming an important lever for Russian policy.
