ABSTRACT
The Crimean crisis rekindled the discourse of civilizational differences between Russia and the West, and this international political conflict began to be interpreted as a clash between the Western territorial image and Russia/Eurasia/East, thus becoming constructive geopolitics. Russia became an image from “not the West” to “against the West”. The Western/non-Western system is a revival of the land/sea dichotomy, but the re-emerging Western/non-Western antagonism is nothing more than a revival of the old analytical model that reaffirms the dominance of the West over non-Western countries.
