Summary/Abstract

I AM OFTEN ASKED to name the most memorable moment of my three decades as a U.S. diplomat managing America's relations with the Soviet Union and Russia, 1983-2013. My memories are many and vivid. I recall the bitter cold of Red Square in the winters of 1984 and 1985 when I accompanied Vice President George W. Bush to the state funerals of Soviet leaders Andropov and Chernenko. And I will never forget the unexpected warmth of the summit meetings between Reagan and Gorbachev that I helped prepare in 1988. I was deeply proud when Presidents Medvedev and Obama signed the START Treaty reducing strategic nuclear weapons, an achievement that brought immense satisfaction to all of my American and Russian colleagues who helped negotiate the agreement.

Despite the very different histories, cultures and forms of governance our countries had, and still have common, and very important, interests. Which ones should be mentioned in the first place?
