“…P. 66-82 Sergey Ivanov, in a conversation with his American counterpart Donald Rumsfeld, raised the issue of the possibility of Russia's withdrawal from the INF Treaty for the first time. Rumsfeld cautiously replied that the U.S. would not oppose such a scenario [Buzhinsky, 2014]. On April 24, 2006, Sergey Ivanov called the INF Treaty a "relic of the Cold War" that did not correspond to contemporary realities because "dozens of countries", including India, Pakistan, Korea, China, Iran, and Israel, "already have such missiles" (How the INF Was Criticized, 2019).…”

This article contributes to the debate on how an international crisis may contribute to ontological security. We argue that ontological security can paradoxically be achieved through escalating practices capable of provoking international crises. By merging ‘practices’, a fairly distinct theoretical perspective of International Relations, with ontological security, we seek to expand Jennifer Mitzen’s premise that “even dangerous routines provide ontological security” and consider practices as a source of attaining ontological security. To partake in the practical turn in ontological security studies, we borrow the concepts of Practice Turn in IR, habitus (disposition), and field (environment). After substantiating the connection between the two theories, we take the demise of the INF Treaty as an example of a crisis. We argue that the INF Treaty, as a field, has become a source of ontological threat to both the U.S. and Russia. Following the end of the Cold War, the U.S. and Russia have constantly changed their habitus by developing key missile technologies and deteriorating bilateral relations. Accordingly, the changed habitus no longer conformed to the realities of the field, making its delegitimization by both sides self-evident.
