Security and political relations between Russia and Afghanistan (with threats and challenges)

Abstract

The relationship between Afghanistan and Russia has seen many ups and downs. Seizing control from the Taliban in Afghanistan is viewed as the initiation of a renewed era in Russian-Afghan relations following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Although the Russians have no desire to get involved in the issue of Afghanistan, but the expansion of the Taliban's influence in this country and the establishment of a relationship between this group and the Islamists of Central Asia and the North Caucasus, they have to pay for it. With the incident of September 11, 2001, Russia tried to improve its international status by asking for an opportunity and announcing its readiness to fight terrorism together with America. Regardless of the results of this effort, the Russians could not gain much status and benefits in Afghanistan. This article seeks to answer the question of what place Afghanistan has in the security policy of the Russian Federation. In this regard, the hypothesis was proposed that Afghanistan is very significant for the Russian Federation from a security point of view, because the threats arising from it have threatened Russia's security and interests in various dimensions. This article is done with an explanatory approach to examine and study the topic of the article, and the required data has been collected from library, electronic and interview sources.
