Meanwhile, militarily Russia was lagging further behind, and experts in the United States gradually concluded that Russia's nuclear arsenal did not present a serious threat to the United States anymore.

 Religioscope > Archives > Russia: religion looms as electoral factor
Nine months before Russia's parliamentary elections, there are already signs that some political figures will seek to use religious leaders and institutions to help boost their popularity.
On 28 February, the Eurasia political party and the Kremlin's internal policy department held a conference devoted to the stance of Russia's so-called traditional religious confessions (Orthodoxy, Islam, Buddhism and Judaism) towards December's parliamentary elections and the likely influence of voters' religious convictions on the results.
The director of the Moscow-based Sova (Owl) Centre, which monitors religious and social relations as well as national and religious xenophobia in Russia, does not believe a split in the Communist Party between staunchly Marxist and patriotic Orthodox factions is a realistic possibility, however.

 American views on Russian security policy and EU-Russian relations
American and European views of Russia's security policy reflect a basic asymmetry: the United States evaluates Russian policy in the context of its global interests and perspectives, whereas EU countries focus on the security implications of Russia's actions for Europe.
Although it is undeniable that Russia's security interests are served by America's actions in Afghanistan, it is nevertheless also true that Putin faced considerable domestic opposition, both from the military and parts of the foreign policy elite, to his vocal support for American policies.
Despite Western assurances to Russia, it is undeniable that the prospect of an EU and NATO that stop at Russia's borders and could have the impact of creating a Europe of "haves" and: have-nots" is a long-term security challenge to both the United States and the EU.
