U.S.-Russia Relations in Post-Soviet Eurasia: Transcending the Zero-Sum Game

The report examines how the Russia’s and United States` ties with the countries in post-Soviet Eurasia affect the bilateral relationship.

Behind Putin's G-8 Decision

05/17/201211:05 For Washington, Putin’s doubts about the G-8’s capacity to accomplish anything significant and his close relations with China should turn on the red light with regards to the hallowed U.S.-Russian “reset” policy.

Protests aside, the people chose Putin

04/23/201212:46 Many Russians, who reasonably enough compare Russia with its neighbours and not with the West, still find this enough to support Putin. Above all, perhaps, the President has based much of his image for the past 12 years on the contrast with his predecessor Boris Yeltsin.

Convergence the Other Way Round

04/20/201214:41 The ruling circles even in very developed and seemingly enlightened countries are doing God knows what! Suffice it to mention the behavior of the West which welcomes and connives at the overthrow of semi-democratic but secular Arab regimes and, at the same time, plays up to super-reactionary Sunni monarchies in the Gulf.

Putin 2.0?

03/27/201210:44 Can there be a Putin 2.0? The question of Russia’s future has less to do with style than with substance. Changes on the scale that Mr. Putin has promised would involve challenging vested interests that will undoubtedly resist change, fearing that it could adversely affect their positions.
