Abstract: Submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. Abstract: Since the early 1990s, the topic of Russian peacekeeping has received a certain amount of academic attention, much of it negative. Many of the criticisms that have been leveled against Russian peacekeeping have a basis in fact and will be addressed in this paper, but an analysis of the primary documents and the debate which went on in the Russian Federation during the mid-1990s reveals a much more complex picture than simply that of a post-imperial actor bent on regional hegemony. This paper places the Russian peacekeeping experience within general trends in UN peace support operations, evaluates the efficacy and shortcomings of Russian peacekeeping efforts and examines the factors which influenced Russian peacekeeping.
