GEOPOLITICAL RIVALRY BETWEEN THE US AND RUSSIA IN THE POST-SOVIET SPACE

   The article is devoted to the history of the development of the policy of the United States of America and Russia in the post-Soviet space after the collapse of the bipolar system. The authors used the methods of historicism and chronology, systematization and comparison. On the basis of empirical material they proved that the foreign policy of the two states has the character of geopolitical rivalry. Each of the parties seeks to establish its own parameters for the formation of a model of foreign and domestic policy of young states in the post-Soviet territory. The history of relations between the United States and Russia is quite complex and has several periods of development. The most pressing issue is the “annexation” of Crimea, which was the beginning of a new “cold war”. The authors also payd attention to the mechanisms of U.S.A. and Russian policy towards the former Soviet States, highlighting such as the promotion of democracy and liberal values.
