US and Russia relations after the defeat of the USSR:

     The end of Cold War brought new challenges to Russian life, economy and
politics. Actually, the post-Cold War period opened the new opportunities for
Russia. Democracy made its first steps in the country. After seventy years of
communism Russian people finally got a chance to live how the want, to say what
they want and to do what they want. People got a chance to choose their own
leader, to vote for the Congress members. And it was very confusing for the

United States provided Russia with massive augments of experience, delivered
through government and private sector advisors as well as by bringing Russians
in large numbers to the US for training and exchanges" (Pickering 102). But the
help of the US wasn't just a gift; America had something they got out of the
help they were providing in building the Russian economy. All big American
companies went to the Russian market. "American firms are convinced of Russia's
