After Soviet, the Russia's strategies had declined due to its internal challenges, and continued until the first decade of 21 century, but with occurring Arab Spring and appearance of Daesh in Middle East, there was another opportunity for Russian influence in the region and Its international position Revival. In this article, which was conducted with approach of neoclassical realism and with an explanatory-analytical method, the aim was to study strategic changes of Russian political-security and economic paradigm in post-daesh Middle East. findings showed that after a period of recovering internal power and solving inner governmental problems, the Russia has gradually expanded its relations with Middle East. The crisis in Syria and Iraq in second decade of 21 century opened the door for more military-security, political and economic influence for Russians, and in competition with West, they expanded their base and position in Middle East, as they reasserted themselves as a great power in international arena. after Daesh, Russia extended its influence more by expanding political-economic relations with Arab and non-Arab countries in Middle East and made Different coalitions and Security-advisory-military contracts and political- commercial agreements. The results showed that post-daesh Russia seeks to maintain its forces and weapons to establish military bases, and has desire more stable influence in competition with West and US hegemony for greater political-security and economic benefits in Middle East.
