N2  - This article examines Russia's discursive reaction to sanctions imposed by the West during
the Ukrainian crisis. By portraying sanctions as a new form of containment, the Kremlin has
been able to rally public opinion behind a narrative framing the crisis as the consequence of
Western hegemonic ambitions against resurgent Russia. Further, withstanding and countering
Western sanctions has been presented as a test of Russia's ability to remain a Great Power. As
a consequence, even if sanctions were to be lifted, Moscow's relationship with the West
would remain deeply problematic. Russia's foreign policy is therefore likely to remain
assertive in the years to come.
