| Summary/Abstract |
THE ROOTS OF RELATIONS between France and Russia, countries that link the West and the East of the European continent, go deep into history. Since the beginning of the 18th century, the relations between the two states were becoming increasingly stable. So today we have every reason to say that Russia and France have been tied by strong knots of cooperation for 300 years now.
Relations between these two great European nations have not always been trouble-free. The countries now drew closer, now moved apart from each other under the influence of geopolitics, ideology, the economy, and many other circumstances. But for three centuries now, the cultural commonality felt by the two civilizations has been prompting them to converge.
