These objectives are examined as follows:   How has Russia's climate position changed since the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol?   Which domestic discourses can be identified on climate policy? Which of these argumentations are reflected in Russia's international climate position?   Which domestic pressure groups influence Russia's international climate position, and could thus be considered as 'veto players'? Is there evidence of such two-level game?   Which dynamics are likely to influence Russia's greenhouse gas emission trends and how?   Which elements of Russia's international climate position are negotiable / non-negotiable and why?
