metadata.value: Public diplomacy is aimed at working with foreign “movers and shakers.” Russia and the
  United States use this foreign policy tool to build a bilateral dialogue. At the same time, the
  general atmosphere of mistrust is negative for the work of state and near-state structures.
  The activities of the US public diplomacy institutes in Russia are limited by the experience
  of their work in the post-Soviet space following the end of the Cold War: in the 1990s
  Americans were using strategic advising and capacity building tools to implement reforms
  in the former USSR, what nowadays is seen by Moscow as blatant interference in the internal
  affairs of the state and disrespect for its national interests. In turn, Russian public
  diplomacy in the United States is limited by the bipartisan anti-Russian consensus on Capitol
  Hill. Therefore, the bilateral public diplomacy of Moscow and Washington is focused on neutral activities — cultural diplomacy, twin city initiatives, and sub-state diplomacy.
  Still, the agenda could be extended, but political will from both sides is needed. The target
  audience for Russian public diplomacy is the “Greater Eurasia,” the United States is a less
  significant, albeit “problematic” area. For US public diplomacy, Russia is viewed not in the
  context of “engagement” strategy, but from the standpoint of countering propaganda. At the
  same time, the strategic dialogue of the two largest nuclear powers is conducted through
  analytical centers and the expert community. The target audience of Russian — US public
  diplomacy — undergraduates, graduate students, lecturers, journalists — are involved in
  the bilateral programs, but not on a systematic basis. To reveal the problems of the bilateral
  public diplomacy, and ways to solve them, the author addresses several top experts in the
  field and reveals their recommendations in the article.
