Summary/Abstract: The world’s states seek security. Hence, the interest of the great economical and military powers to create for them a competitive defence system. In this respect, the placement of an anti-ballistic missile shield in former European communist countries is a proof. The American project of the ABM shield in Europe will undoubtedly affect relations between Russia and USA. In its turn, the former proposed a joint ABM project. Accepting it would be a sign that Russia’s status as a great world power begins to be acknowledged.
