At the onset of the new Millennium, Putin took over the position of President of Russia. The rationale behind Putin’s political success is that Russians are looking for energetic and decisive leadership and that he was regarded as a political leader who could bring law and order back to Russia. As such, Putin has inherited from Yeltsin the task of not only remedying the domestic situation, especially the economic situation, but also of implementing major changes in foreign policy. This paper begins with a discussion of Putin’s new foreign policy goals and principles and then examines the process of the normalization of DPRK-Russian relations. Furthermore, this paper argues that Russia, with regards to its approach to North Korea, is presently concerned with two issues: first, it has tried to play an active mediator role with regards to the security problems on the Korean peninsula and second Russia has recently discovered that North Korea has a certain economic as well as security value. In its conclusion, this paper discusses the rationale and the framework for this exchange of interests between the two countries.
