This paper discusses US foreign policy toward Russia. The author argues that at the end of the Bush administration, relations between Washington and Moscow are back to where they started: the Cold War. He also argues that the mistrust between the two countries is aggravated by differences in perception, at the center of which are Russian rejection of the democratic path of American virtue, on the one hand, and American incapacity to come to terms with Russia’s rediscovered sense of self-confidence, on the other.
