Recapping U.S.-Russia Relations","description":"Visiting Media Fellow Michael Moran hosts this final episode of our series, Diffusion: Russia in Focus. Over the course of this series, we\u2019ve explored the historical context of the relationship, its development since the end of the Cold War, and the economic, military and political rivalry between the two. We\u2019ve examined Russia\u2019s domestic politics, global energy politics, the crisis sparked by its invasion of Ukraine, it\u2019s fraught ties with NATO and intervention in Syria. Now it\u2019s time to sum up what we\u2019ve learned in conversations with two dozen of the world\u2019s preeminent experts on Russian affairs, many of them Carnegie grantees, and how their insights might guide US policy in the Trump era.
