Hosted by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, this site offers two interesting reports on US-Russian relations, one from the Washington-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Working Group on US-Russian Relations, the other from the Moscow-based Council on Foreign and Defense Policy Working Group on US-Russian Relations. The parallel working groups that produced these reports were formed in the spring of 1999, when US-Russian relations had hit a low point. The objective was to "produce reports that would provide expert American and Russian assessments of the state of the US-Russian relationship and its prospects as well as guidelines for its improved management." Despite the differences and recent rough spots between the two countries, the two reports offer "a large area of analytical common ground," which is outlined in the joint introduction from the Co-Chairs. Users can read both reports in HTML format and view a list of the working group members at the site.
