Popis:	Compared to the first decade after the collapse of communism and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russian-American relations have been tense since the turn of the century. This is usually attributed to an increasing belligerence on the part of the Putin leadership, particularly since the increase in oil prices has given Russia a powerful instrument in international affairs. The different principles on which Russian and American foreign policy are based and American attitudes towards Russia are also responsible for the deterioration in the Russian-American relationship. This paper points out that there were already problems in the relationship in the 1990s and examines how the war on terrorism has exacerbated the tension between Russia and the US. It argues that there is unlikely to be a great improvement in their relationship under President Medvedev and the next American president.
