The '''Near abroad''' in the post-[[Cold War]] era is the [[Russia]]n term applied to former [[Soviet]] Republics which the [[Russian Federation]] considers its sphere of influence. Just as the [[United Kingdom]] would never allow [[Dublin]] harbor or the [[United States]] allow Acapulco to be used as a non-allied naval base despite existing on [[sovereign]] territory outside the UK or US, so to does the Russian Federation consider efforts to turn Sevastopol in the [[Crimea]] on the [[Black Sea]] into a [[NATO]] base as a vital [[national security]] threat.
