Title: Russian National Security Policy After September 11
Authors: Stuart D. Goldman, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division 
Abstract: This report examines the implications of the shift in Russian national security policy for near-term U.S.-Russian relations and for broader U.S. security interests. It shows the motives behind Putin's decision to reorient Russian policy and assess the prospects for the new policy's endurance. It examines the Bush Administration's response(s) to the new Russian policy, congressional interests and congressional levers to influence U.S. policy toward Russia, as well as competing opinions on what U.S. policy toward Russia should be.
