The U.S. and Russia Are Friends More Than Enemies
Russia in Global Affairs. 2025. No. 23(2). P. 50–56.
The U.S. is the only major power with which Russia had neither armed conflict nor significant confrontation between the late 18th century and the mid-20th century. Relations in 1776-1945 were mostly quite friendly, marked by important acts of mutual support, and it was only in 1946-1985 and the 21st century that they deteriorated.
The bottom line: 170 positive years versus approximately 60 negative ones. Friendship and cooperation between the U.S. and Russia is their more natural state, and in the long run their relations are likely to return to this historical norm

Such internal temporary labor migration is referred to by some researchers as otkhodnichestvo, and migrants as otkhodniks, by analogy with the pre–revolutionary and early Soviet migration of ...

Examples of soft power, such as Nigeria’s Nollywood, athletic successes in Kenya, Rwanda’s commercial diplomacy, and South Africa’s liberal constitution, are all reasserting African agency and shaping more positive understandings of the continent.
This book considers ...

This study examines how discursive alignments during the 2018-2019 Russian pension reform debates correspond with subsequent legislative collaboration networks. Employing discourse-network analysis and frame analysis, we identify distinct parliamentary communities organized around interpretive frameworks rather than formal institutional boundaries. Inferential network analysis using Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGM) and Quadratic Assignment Procedure (MR-QAP) reveals that ...

At the end of 2023, Russia updated its Strategy for Improving Financial Literacy and Developing Financial Culture Until 2030. Unlike the previous strategy, the current strategic goals include not only financial literacy but also financial culture. ‘Culture’ is normative and socially preferred behaviour. The updated strategy brings into focus the relationship between financial literacy and responsible financial behaviour. To explore this relationship, the authors rely on data from the All-Russian Survey of Consumer Finance (2020 and 2022). Socially ...
