metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to the study of Russian-American relations through the prism of public
  opinion of both countries. Foreign political views of citizens are an important element of international
  politics in the modern information society; they directly affect the development
  of international relations, providing an opportunity to legitimize and moralize foreign policy
  decisions of world leaders. Based on open secondary data from opinion polls, the article traces
  the history of the development of Russian-American relations in the post-Soviet period. The
  author proves that the formation of anti-Americanism ideas underlying the current reversion
  of consciousness to the Cold War era was formed by the early 2000s. The personality of
  President Vladimir Putin and his foreign policy strategy have become decisive for Russian-
  American relations, but at the same time, negative identification in the system of images of
  “friends and enemies” of Russians and Americans is realized by value-based foreign policy
  ideas, rather than by opportunistic situational value judgments. The media produces the existing
  crisis agenda, influencing the emotional, rather than meaningful response in citizens’ opinions. The events of 2014 triggered the current long-term crisis in Russian-American relations,
  a characteristic feature of which was the disparity (asymmetry) of mutual perceptions,
  which intensified after 2018. This period is also characterized by an increase in the ambivalence
  and turbulence of public opinion, primitivizing its model to the expression of the bloc
  consciousness “for — against”, “friend — enemy”. For Russians, their stance on the Ukrainian
  question alongside sanctions remain the key indicators in the perception of America. For
  Americans, such indicators are the strengthening of totalitarianism in Russia and interference
  in American elections. There are no short- and medium-term prospects for improving
  Russian-American relations in the current period.
