In April 2014, President Vladimir Putin addressed Russia's Federal Assembly in the wake of Moscow’s reabsorption of Crimea. Over the course of his speech, he laid the blame for an increase in tensions on the West, which he insisted had “lied to us many times, made decisions behind our backs, placed us before an accomplished fact.” At the heart of this apparent duplicity was NATO’s expansion to the East, “as well as deployment of military infrastructure at our borders,” contrary, he said, to its promises.
Ever since, disproving the idea that Western leaders had assured Moscow the bloc wouldn’t encroach on its borders has become an obsession for think tanks and lobby groups. For example, UK policy institute Chatham House brands the suggestion that any pledge was made not to enlarge the controversial military bloc one of the key “myths and misconceptions in the debate on Russia,” while NATO’s own website likewise claims it is wholly manufactured.

Neuvostoliittolaiset kuvittelivat itsestään suuria. Ei NATO kysele Venäjältä lupia, koko ajatus on ihan hullu. Venäjä ei yksinkertaisesti ole sellainen valta, että sen kanssa tehdyillä sopimuksilla olisi joku sitovuus. Sama tietysti koskee montaa muutakin asiaa.
