Why does Russia distrust the United States? It’s partially because of a shared history of enmity. It’s also because Russia feared the ascendance of American power after the end of the Cold War, says Stephen Walt. He explains.

Stephen Walt is the Robert and Renée Belfer Professor of International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School. He is also a columnist at Foreign Policy magazine. He is the author of several books on international relations, including The Hell of Good Intentions, Revolutions and War, and The Origins of Alliances.
