Introduction

It is widely acknowledged on both sides of a growing divide that relations between Russia and the United States are at their lowest ebb since the end of the Cold War almost 25 years ago. Indeed, to quote two of our most astute observers: Dmitri Trenin, director of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Moscow Center, concludes that we may be obliged to look back on the period 1992-2014 as an “inter-Cold War era”; and New York University’s Stephen Cohen goes further, arguing that anti-Russia animus in Western media and policy circles is actually more virulent than during the Soviet times.
