Abstract

The author presents a sociological look on a current state of Russia-US relations focusing on rhetoric of prominent political figures, a dual interpretation of a new chill in the relationship between former rivals, views of modern Russian Slavophiles and Westernizers on Russian politics during the Putin reign. The short period of US-Russia rapprochement started after the tragedy of 11 September 2001 in the USA seems coming to the end. There is a feeling of “déjà vu”, as we witness how a certain way of using pressure in international affairs can still be considered legitimate; how political disputes pertaining to foreign policy and international relations are stirring up, how they are covered by media, and how they are settled.
