Watson Institute Senior Fellow Sergei Khrushchev, assessing US-Russia relations during Barack Obama’s first year as president, this week told the
Voice of America that the relationship is now much more pragmatic and based on common interests, such as the reduction of weapons of mass destruction. He predicted a peaceful coexistence between the two nations going forward.
Khrushchev, son of Nikita Khrushchev, is publishing a book titled
Unknown Khrushchev: History of his Reforms, Russian Edition later this year.
