The problem between Russia and the West is really a problem among Westerners themselves. If there is a new cold war, it is only because established elites have not come to terms with reality: the balance of military, political, economic, and moral power has shifted too far away from the West to be reversed. Rising tensions between the United Kingdom and ...

... the European Union is no more likely. In the observable future Russia will not become a part of the European project.

Back to the Cold War Igor Ivanov: Russia — Europe: the Need for a Common Vision Since no revolution took place in global politics in 2017, practical solutions need to be sought in the framework of the existing system of political coordinates; more grandiose plans ...
Nuclear deterrence is the only reason why the world did not plunge into a nuclear conflict during the Cold War and is not sliding down that path now as we are living through a new Cold War which is even worse than the previous one. This view was stated at the Valdai Club by Sergei Karaganov, Dean of the School of World Economics and International Affairs ...

Key points at first. Nuclear weapons, if they are ever to be used, are unspeakable evil, but their existence saved the world during the Cold War and is saving it now as the previous two global systems—the bipolar one (which died, but there have been attempts to revive it) and the “unipolar moment” (which is fast winding down now)—are simultaneously falling apart.

While it was generally believed that Russia had lost the Cold War (although ...
... and we have had good times. We’ve had challenges and we’ve had times when we were really on the same page across the border. We are facing challenges right now, and we do all recognize those. The cooperation in the Arctic even back in the Cold War days was actually not bad, and I worked with colleagues from the Soviet Union on various things back in the 1980-s: we still were able to work together because we had a common interest there.
