I'm wondering if you have any thoughts on how Russia's role in the world might have shifted over the past 10 years?
It's okay if you don't have a clear idea, but I'm curious, do you think that a country's role in the world is typically stable or do they tend to rise and fall in influence over time?
From what I've heard, some believe that Russia's recent actions indicate an increase in its global influenceWould you agree with that?

I recognize that opinions vary, but some suggest that Russia is less relevant than it was a decade agoDo you share that view or have a different take on it? While some countries have certainly grown more powerful since the global financial crisis, do you think that Russia is still as important now as it was a decade ago?
