| Summary/Abstract |
The Obama administration's reset policy with Russia focuses on certain key issues in the Russo-American relationship: arms control, as embodied in the new Prague treaty called New Start, gaining Russian support for U.S. pressure on Iran, and gaining Russian support for the U.S. effort in Afghanistan. This article closely examines the arms control and Iranian issues as well as the broader issue of Russo-American rivalry over Eurasian security, perhaps the core issue in the relationship and certainly the most contentious one there. The analysis suggests that there are numerous problems with the treaty that go beyond the issue of whether or not it allows the U.S. to build missile defenses. It also suggests that there are unproven and even unjustified assumptions about Russian policy regarding Iran and regional security that reduce the real value and prospective gains of this policy for the U.S.

| Summary/Abstract |
Rethinking the nuclear arms policy implies making it independent - that is, relieving it of the task of maintaining parity with the United States and subordinating it to the interests of the military security and international political influence of Russia. Russia's military security can be effectively and reliably ensured by a much smaller arsenal of strategic nuclear forces than it has now, even considering the possible need to overcome the U.S. missile defense system in the future.

| Summary/Abstract |
Armen Oganesyan, editor-in-chief of International Affairs: Sergei Alekseevich, before starting our conversation, I would like to draw your attention to this format which is somewhat unusual for International Affairs. Today questions can come to you not only from the editor-in-chief but also from listeners to the Voice of Russia radio* who take interest in Russian-U.S. relations and Russia's foreign policy especially its U.S. policy. So, in late June a Russian-U.S. summit will be held. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev submitted a new strategic arms reduction treaty, signed in April, to the State Duma for ratification, asking the MPs to do all they can to ensure that the document is ratified simultaneously with the United States. It is difficult to think of a period in the past decade when Russian-U.S. relations would be so intense. Are you satisfied with the dynamics of our relations?

| Summary/Abstract |
This article seeks to identify and assess the general shift in Russian foreign policy thinking during Vladimir Putin's presidency. The main thesis of this article is that a general shift in Russian foreign policy had occurred during Putin's presidency owing to the rise in Statist thinking. To substantiate the thesis, the author uses the State of the Nation addresses of Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin to make a comparative analysis of the presidents' foreign policy approaches. As will be demonstrated in the article, the Russian foreign policy had experienced a dramatic influence of state power during Vladimir Putin's presidency, which resulted in the relative quantitative and qualitative reduction of cooperative initiatives between the United States and Russia.
