	Russia Foreign Relations
		Relations with the United States and with Western Europe also were of major concern; the strategic significance of individual nations in the so-called Third World of developing nations determined, at least partly, the relations with those nations.
		Russia also faced the challenge of reconciling the international commitments and obligations it inherited from the former Soviet Union with new and sometimes conflicting Russian interests, such as the desire to sell arms and missile technology abroad.
		Several challenges emerged in Russia's relations with the fourteen other former Soviet republics, now called the "near abroad." Among the most serious confrontations were Russia's dispute with Ukraine over the status of Crimea, long and complicated conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan and within Georgia, and numerous new economic frictions.

		Russia also continues to supply nuclear equipment to Tehran, ostensibly to be used for civilian purposes at Iran's $800 million, Russian-built Bushehr reactor.
		Russia, the world's second-largest oil producer, currently supplies the United States with just 3 percent of its oil, but given escalating oil costs in the Persian Gulf, that number is expected to increase, experts say.
		Still, there is a growing chorus in Congress to expel Russia from the Group of Eight--the elite club of industrialized democracies of which Russia is a fledgling member--unless it adheres to democratic norms and values.

	EurasiaNet Eurasia Insight - Russia's Future Foreign Policy: Pragmatism in Motion
		Russia’s recent geopolitical moves have distinguished themselves from the earlier attempts to regain the influence once exercised by its predecessor states, the U.S.S.R. Once Russia emerged from the ruins of a former superpower, its initial policies were directed towards consolidating influence in the previous Soviet regions.
		Russia is still tremendously important to the world’s major affairs, but its former Soviet clout is effectively replaced by that of the United States, European Union and China in areas such as the Middle East, Eastern Europe, South Asia, Africa and Latin America.
		Russia will remain a major global player in the near future for two main reason: its abundant natural resources will assume greater importance to the world’s major developed economies, and its military research and development will continually earn it a top place as one of the top producers and suppliers of hardware around the world.

		Ivanov, who inherited the Foreign Ministry from Yevgeny Primakov last fall, may wear custom-tailored Milanese suits and have spent nearly 15 years in Madrid first as a trade representative and then ambassador, but his thinking is thoroughly, proudly, defiantly, Russian.
		Russia may be resigned to the Balts entering the E.U., but NATO remains off limits.
		Russia, however, can no longer, as Ivanov said recently, "just tell people what to do." And he also knows well that momentum is an ineluctable force.

		Russia and the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union are ranked second in undiscovered oil potential after the Persian Gulf, holding an estimated 27% of the world’s undiscovered reserves.

		Increasingly, Russia has been emphasizing its warm relations with Europe and turning a cold shoulder to Washington.
		Russia has antiaircraft systems that can also be used to target incoming missiles, but those systems would not be enough to build a comprehensive missile shield, Safranchuk said.

	Insight on the News: Gore Wrecked Russia Policy - United states foreign policy towards Russia criticized - Government ...
		Connecticut Rep. Sam Gejdenson, ranking Democrat on the House International Relations Committee, led the charge, calling it "an election-year gimmick devoid of substance" Gejdenson declared in a prepared statement, "This is a political hatchet job, nothing more," even though aides admitted to Insight that the Congressman had not read it.
		Comprised of the chairmen of the main House panels dealing with Russia, the advisory group painstakingly documents Russia's internal conditions during the Soviet collapse and the highly productive, positive relations with Washington in 1993, when the Clinton administration came to power.
		Indeed, professional Foreign Service officers serving in Moscow during the past seven years, such as Wayne Merry, who headed the political division at the U.S. Embassy there, came forward to denounce the Gore-Chernomyrdin Commission as a "soviet-like bureaucracy that wasted U.S. and Russian officials'" time and served more as a public-relations campaign for its namesakes.
