Abstract: The paper seeks to explain Russian relations through a constructivist approach and explore the impact of Sino-Russian alliance on shaping Asia-Pacific relations toward Russia. Based on theoretical framework and discourse analysis, the paper will shed light on Sino-Russian ideational structure, explicating how shared ideas/interests have formed strong ties between two states and how ideational factors have affected on states’ foreign policy behaviors. The paper argues that “Sinocentrism” in Russia’s “turn to the East” policy can be an obstacle for Russia’s success in the Asia-Pacific and explain the consequences of the clash of interests/ideas of China with India and Japan for the development of Russia in the Asia-Pacific. In this sense, most scholars have perceived Sino-Russia partnership to be successful for the both sides, this paper contributes that strong Sino-Russian relations are considered as a potential threat to Asia-Pacific security and stability. This point explains the collusion of interests between major Asia-Pacific powers (China, India and Japan), as well as explains Russia’s position in APEC and BRICS
