metadata.value: The article is devoted to the analysis of the evolution, nature and content of Russia-EU political
  relations, formally established by the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA)
  of 1994. The paradigm of building a united Europe and a common European security space in
  line with overcoming post-bipolar confrontation and the emergence of post-Soviet Russia as
  well as the European Union, established in 1992, as new actors in international arena became
  the basis for their cooperative relations, which was built towards strategic partnership. It was
  strengthened at the turn of the 2000s, including on the basis of mutual strategies of relations,
  when Russia’s “European choice” was declared and the EU’s “new dynamics” in security and
  defense dimension were initiated. However, the NATO-centric model of European security and
  the policy of expanding Euro-Atlantic institutions to the East created a potential for conflict,
  and Russia-EU cooperation entered a phase of a latent crisis, especially as a result of differing
  interests in the so-called common neighborhood. Attempts at a new strategic start by the adoption
  of Russia-EU Roadmaps on the four common spaces and by planning the negotiations on
  a new basic agreement failed to overcome fundamental disagreements and contradictions. The
  Ukrainian conflict became the culmination of the Russian-European crisis and fundamentally
  changed the direction and content of Russia — EU relations. The defining of the future strategy
  of relations is becoming increasingly acute, which is considered in the article as a challenge of
  strategic choice for the parties. The author substantiates the prospect of overcoming the “new
  normality”, which is boils down to maintaining a controlled mutual deterrence, although it
  does not exclude the option of terminating the Russia-EU legal relations (“breakesit”).
