America-Russia: Cold War of Cultures

 

Dr. Sergei Markov, Director, Institute for Political Studies, Moscow: This book is pertinent, professional and attests author's profound understanding of America's foreign policy mechanisms. Russian readers should study it, because the United States is a superpower with which we interact on many issues, and we ought to know how their foreign policy takes shape.

 

Dr. Blair Ruble, Director, The Kennan Institute, Washington: Veronika Krasheninnikova's America-Russia: Cold War of Cultures is an important book for Russian readers. Krasheninnikova helps to explain not just how the United States is a theoretical abstraction, but how it exists because it is a theoretical abstraction accepted widely by its residents. The author explains how policies which seem so cynical to Russians become embraced by idealism. As a consequence, Americans not only see Russia when they write about Russia, they see themselves in Russia's reflection. The result is a relationship between two countries which never quite comprehend the other.
