Russia's Near Abroad foreign policy remained fairly consistent from the 1850s through the Soviet period and into present-day Tajikistan and Central Asia. In the early 1990s, the dissolution of the Soviet Union caused much strife and conflict throughout the former Soviet Republics. Perhaps, the most violent conflict started in Tajikistan. An alliance of Islamic, nationalist, and democratic forces clashed with an entrenched Russian dominated government. Soon after the war started, the Russians intervened not only with diplomatic initiatives and political support, but also with a large contingent of peacekeeping troops and border patrols. The Russian intervention in the Tajik civil war, 1992-1997, exemplifies Russia's "Near Abroad" foreign policy, which preceded the Soviet Union. However, Specific historical antecedents show a continuity, which explains Russia's attitude towards Central Asia in general, and Tajikistan in particular.
