Nagorno-Karabakh is the first military conflict in the post-Soviet space, which gave rise to others as well, with russia actively using the confrontation between Armenia and Azerbaijan to advance its interests in the South Caucasus. It was with the Kremlin's support that defensive fortifications were built in Nagorno-Karabakh, which prevented Azerbaijan from quickly gaining control over the territory. In addition, the russian military base, located on the territory of Armenia, was an outpost of the russian federation for use in hybrid conflicts like the one in Karabakh. Watch Ukraine in flames #456 to find out about the complexities of russia's role in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and examine the historical, political, and strategic factors that have shaped the geopolitical map of the region.
