As Russia tries to redefine its place on the world stage, the Kremlin is having to come to terms with the fact that it is no longer at the center of the Soviet Union, and that it has to deal with that empire’s former republics in a new and sustainable way. That effort, it is now clear, will largely depend on whether Moscow can settle on a new approach to those once-Soviet republics now that they are independent neighbors. A primary goal of President Vladimir Putin has been to keep nations such as Ukraine and Georgia from joining the European Union and NATO. Moscow used military force in those countries to prevent such an outcome and maintain its influence, but that undermined Mr. Putin’s hopes of being treated as an acceptable and equal partner in the West.
