The article maps the architecture and ordering logic of Russian international order and assesses its resilience through a resilience-thinking lens. It treats the “vision of the good life” as the central analytical anchor for evaluating ordering practices both internally and across a multi-order world. Empirically, it analyses Russian strategic narratives as mechanisms for defining what is “right” and “just” and translating these meanings into practices, institutions, and policy. It advances a concentric model of the order and argues that its coherence depends on Russia’s ability to secure discursive consent while sustaining coercion and managed interdependence across economic and institutional-security spheres, revealing both system-building capacity and structural fragility.
