This issue discusses US-​Russian Relations. Maxim A. Suchkov argues that the key issue between Russia and the United States at the moment is not the poor state of the relationship, but rather its changed nature, since the two pillars that used to shape the relationship—principles and agenda—have evolved; Ivan Kurilla posits that understanding the nature of conflicts over national identity in both Russia and the US improves our understanding of how each side views the other and highlights the nature of the obstacles standing in the way of improved relations.
