DESCRIPTION:About the event: Russian officials and experts often voice the 
 view that the United States was hell-bent on undermining\, even destroying
  Russia during the turbulent period of the Soviet breakup thirty years ago
 . The primary U.S. goal\, in this telling\, was to expand NATO to Russia's
  borders to isolate and threaten the Russian state. Rose Gottemoeller\, dr
 awing from the historical record and her own professional experience\, ref
 utes this notion. Gottemoeller argues that\, to the contrary\, successive 
 American presidents were convinced that deep cooperation with Russia is es
 sential to international security and stability. This conviction was born 
 during the George H. W. Bush administration and took definitive shape duri
 ng Bill Clinton’s presidency\, when he and his Russian counterpart\, Bor
 is Yeltsin agreed to develop technological cooperation that would be usefu
 l to both countries. George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin carried the convict
 ion further\, and the two countries made enormous strides on cooperation i
 n outer space\, counterterrorism\, and nuclear energy over the next nearly
  twenty years. While today is starkly different from the 1990s\, Gottemoel
 ler takes the lessons learned and considers what it would take—when Russ
 ia exits its horrific adventure in Ukraine and atones for the damage it ha
 s done—to resume cooperation for the sake of global security.
