Excellent research piece. Very timely and prescient. The author resists the urge to simplify or sensationalize the subject, despite the obvious dramatic nature of recent developments in the region. There is a great need for more detailed tracking of Russian policy towards its neighbors, and Pirt accomplishes this with flair.
