The "Russian world" (Russian: Русский мир, romanized: Russkiy mir) is a concept and a political doctrine usually defined as the sphere of military, political and cultural influence of Russia.[1][2][3][4][5] It is a vague term, mostly used to refer to communities with a historical, cultural, or spiritual tie to Russia.[6] This can include all ethnic Russians and Russian speakers in neighboring states, as well as those who belong to the Russian Orthodox Church.[7] The concept of the "Russian world" is linked to Russian neo-imperialism.[8] President Vladimir Putin established the government-funded Russkiy Mir Foundation to foster the idea of the "Russian world" abroad. The concept is sometimes also called the Pax Russica,[9][10][11] as a counterweight to the Pax Americana after WWII.[12]
