Yeltsin and Clinton
Mistrust is a word that can best describe U.S.-Russian relations today. Mutual suspicions are prevalent in both countries. According to the last president of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, “this trust was not undermined yesterday; it happened long ago.

Divided Together
This book by the late Russian historian Ilya Gaiduk is truly a groundbreaking work in the study of the history of the United Nations (UN). Gaiduk was one of the very few pioneers among Russian historians who were able to take full advantage of the openness of the Russian archives in 1992 and early 1993. He was equally well-versed in the U.S. and British archives, making frequent research trips abroad. The result is a first-of-its kind document-ba…

New Sources on the Role of Soviet Submarines in the Cuban Missile Crisis
Drawing on evidence collected from eyewitness interviews, new Russian secondary sources, as well as recently declassified documents from both sides, the author significantly widens the academic understanding of the maritime dimension of this gravest crisis of the Cold War.
