Summary/Abstract: The implosion of the Soviet Union, after the East European revolutions from 1989, announced a major geopolitical reconfiguration of the world. The Russian Federation, although weaken by the tremendous ideological confrontation that articulated international politics in the second half of the last century, is eager to win back what it considers to be its rightful place on the international relations stage. Crucially for achieving this goal is the relation that Moscow cultivates with its former enemy, the American superpower. The present paper is trying to asses, focusing mainly on the last decade, the major reference points of this relationship.
