Abstract

For five years, the United States and Russia have been interacting within the framework of the “reset”. At that time, two largest nuclear powers managed to come together to a number of constructive agreements and decisions that benefited both parties (for example, the creation of a bilateral presidential commission or the agreement on the northern transport corridor for NATO cargos to Afghanistan) and the whole world (the START-III). At the same time, the term "reset" was not only incorrectly translated into Russian, but also incorrectly selected in English. And the “reset” itself, in the form in which it was launched, was doomed to fail. The principles on which the United States has built and is building interaction with other states, including Russia, remain unchanged: equality and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries are not in the list of Washington's principles. In addition the “reset” could not cancel the fact of the presence of diametrically opposite interests of Moscow and Washington on a number of issues. The end of the “reset” was only a matter of time, and even five years seems to be a significant span. Moreover, by the year 2020, the main fruits of the “reset” either have become history, or are at risk.
