Big Idea 4. The Return of the Cold War There are strong differences with the Cold War, says Andrew Monaghan, senior research fellow at Chatham House. The ideological divide is no longer a chasm between communism and capitalism. Russia is not expansionist in the same way as the Soviet Union, he argues. And while its government is authoritarian, it is still a democracy with a far freer media than in Soviet times. He sees the problem as bigger than Ukraine. It is really a different way of looking at sovereignty and the balance of power between Nato, the EU and US on the one side and Russia and its supporters on the other.
