The paper seeks to examine the Russia-NATO relationship within the theoretical framework of the English school with a variety of models of international societies at its core. Three of them are given particular attention— multipolarity, procedural integration and normative plurality. It is argued that each type of international society presupposes a peculiar Russian security stance in general and policy toward NATO in particular. Therefore, the key problem is not Russia’s ‘great design’, but rather the inherent inconsistency of Russia’s foreign policy. As seen from this vantage point, Russia is a country lacking a single and coherent policy toward NATO; in its stead different and sometimes mutually contradictory policy lines compete with each other as alternative conceptualisations of the structure of international relations.
