Features: This book attempts to explore the dominant factors in the evolution of Russia's foreign policy during the transition period from the perspective of domestic political development in Russia during the transition period. It argues that the development trajectory of domestic politics in Russia during the transition period is highly correlated with the evolution of Russia-US relations. This correlation is primarily reflected in that the development of domestic politics in Russia not only plays a significant role in shaping Russia's foreign strategic orientation and its policies toward the United States but also serves as a fundamental starting point and important basis for the United States in formulating its policies toward Russia.
