Abstract
Russian-American relations could be seen form different aspects, but international dimension remains the main analytical component of every single analysis. Two countries which have undergone different phases in their relations, after the end of the Cold war and dissolution of Soviet Union are again in the special focus. Although People's Republic of China as well as Brazil and India with their fast development announce significant changes in the world politics, it is quite obvious that America-Russian relations are considered as particularly important. It is not just the tradition, but overall the nuclear factor which separates these two countries from all other countries with or without nuclear weapons. To perceive their nuclear and total military power it is worth mentioning the figure of 96% nuclear warheads in US and Russia's possession.
