Title: The United States—Russian Relations: Past, Present, and Future
Abstract: Historically, U.S.-Russian relations include some 200 years since the two countries first shared multifaceted diplomatic relations. As global dynamics changed, Russia and the U.S. started competing for political, ideological, and economic influence. They also cooperated when facing challenges that represented a threat to their national interests. Many of the Western and European governments perceived the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union to be the end of the Cold War. Many in the Washington establishment thought the Cold War ended and the U.S. won. Time and reality has proved otherwise. U.S.-Russian relations embarked on new dimensions, both bilaterally and multilaterally. The mistrust that has continued to the present threatens to thrust the relationship into even more geopolitical competition in the regions of Middle East, Latin America, Europe, and Africa.
