Russia and the United States in the Cases of Egypt and Libya
Ch. 6. P. 93–105.
The topic of love-hate relations between the United States and the Soviet Union (USSR)-turned-Russia in the Middle East has occupied a significant part of the discourse on internation-al relations in the region since times long gone. Not only has this standoffish confrontation shaped the political backdrop of regional developments, more often than not it has also contrib-uted to the domestic environments in both the United States and Russia, from the economical to the social to the political discourse. From this perspective, one should evaluate every en-deavor undertaken by both actors with consideration to the res-onance this or that statement or step was intended by leaders to create within their home constituencies.
