Over the past year, the Commission’s structure has grown, with working groups on innova- tion and rule of law added to the now 20 working groups that are producing practical results. Over sixty U.S. and Russian government agencies now support the work of the Commission and have facilitat- ed over 400 meetings, exchanges, PHOTO: U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT exercises, and other joint projects Foreign Minister Lavrov and Secretary Clinton in since the Commission’s start. The Washington, D.C., on July 13, 2011. Commission has also served as a venue for connecting American and Russian citizens across a wide range of professions--from high technology entrepreneurs to business students, from doctors to nuclear scientists, from counternarcotics experts to green technology innovators. On the security front, we have begun implementation of the New START Treaty, restarting inspection and verification procedures to reinforce the process of agreed reductions in nuclear weapons and delivery systems; both sides consider implementation to be a success. We also agreed on important amendments to the Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement, which will allow both sides to dispose of enough weapon-grade plutonium for a total of 17,000 nuclear weapons. Strengthening bilateral military cooperation is a top Commission goal. In 2011, U.S. and Russian armed forces performed joint exercises and carried out more than 50 military-to-military activities, an unprecedented level of engagement. We have shared best practices on military reform and modernization in areas such as logistics and personnel man- agement. Cooperation to bring stability and security to Afghanistan reached new levels in terms of efforts to equip the Afghan National Security Forces and facilitate the transit of personnel and equipment in support of multinational operations. Our counternarcotics cooperation has become more systematic as we conduct joint operations to interrupt supply as well as share strategies to reduce demand. Joint exercises at sea, in the air and on land bolster our counter- terrorism cooperation. 4 U.S.~ RUSSIA BILATERAL PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION JOINT REPORT • Spring 2012 Combined U.S. and Russian efforts to strengthen bilateral economic cooperation helped to secure an invitation for Russia to join the World Trade Organization (WTO).

RAO UES and Rostekhnologii. Energy efficiency is another priority area for the Commission. San Diego and Belgorod are working together to advance implementation of new Smart Grid infrastructure to improve mu- nicipal energy efficiency and reduce energy costs for consumers. A second city-to-city Smart Grid program between Kaliningrad and a U.S. partner city will begin this year. Perhaps the Commission’s most important work this year has been on the people-to-people front. A new agreement will make multiple-entry, three-year visas the norm for American and Russian businesspeople and tourists. Another agreement will increase protection for inter- country adopted children and strengthen adoption procedures. A joint U.S.-Russia protocol on global polio eradication signed in 2011 resulted in joint efforts to help tackle polio outbreaks in Central Asia. Public-private partnerships increased. One example of use of new technologies was the 2011 launch of Text4Baby, a free mobile health information service promoting maternal and child health through text messages. There have been new cultural exchanges—per- formances of the Bolshoi Ballet in Washington, D.C. and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Moscow and St. Petersburg are but two examples. Academic and youth exchanges con- tinued as well. We established new PHOTO: U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT Fulbright Science and Technology From left: Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Presidential scholarships and continued to spon- Aide Sergey Prikhodko, Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and Minister of Communications Igor Shchegolev at the sor Russian-American youth sports Blair House in Washington, D.C., June 2010. exchanges. Spring 2012 • U.S.~ RUSSIA BILATERAL PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION JOINT REPORT 5 Despite tangible progress in many ar- eas, the Commission’s work is far from finished. There is more to be done that will benefit both of our nations. Our ongoing strategic stability talks seek to make progress to build cooperation and enhance mutual confidence, and we are working to increase our capacity to meet non-traditional challenges in areas such as cyber security. On the econom- PHOTO: WHITE HOUSE PHOTO / PETE SOUZA ic and commercial front, the potential President Obama and President Medvedev ride for mutually beneficial cooperation together to lunch during President Medvedev’s June has barely been tapped. As we move 2010 visit to Washington, D.C. toward Russia’s entry into the WTO, we will turn our attention to advancing Russia’s bid to join the OECD and leveraging innovation to bolster the competitiveness of our companies and workforces. And we are confident that the Commission’s work will continue to benefit all Americans and Russians as we seek ways to increase our educational and professional exchanges, to find new avenues of cooperation in the public health and other social sectors, and to bring civil society actors together to discuss common challenges. The United States and Russia commit to take full advantage of the Com- mission’s capabilities to advance common interests and unlock the creative and entrepreneurial potential of our societies in the months and years ahead.

  • The End of the Cold War: Moscow
    The End of the Cold War: Moscow President Reagan and Nancy Reagan receiving an official greeting from Mikhail Gorbachev and Raisa Gorbachev in St. George's Hall at the Grand Kremlin Palace in Moscow. 5/29/88. From the Archives brings primary source documents and exploration into the classroom. These educational resources, carefully curated by our Education team, are meant to enhance historical discussions around relevant topics of today in history, civics, geography, and economics. Overview: Most summits have a specific goal in mind, whether it is a peace treaty, arms negotiation, or trade. Many summits have alternate goals as well. These meetings are often used as an opportunity to get a feel for the other side and their points of view. Other times it is to make a statement to that nation, your own nation, or the world. Sometimes it is about making connections beyond the political ones. The Moscow Summit was very much a Summit of alternate goals rather than substantive ones. President Reagan was determined to make a personal connection with everyday Russians. He wanted to help them understand the people of the United States and for him to better understand the hearts and minds of the Soviet people. Suggested Classroom Activities: Consider having students look at the following documents and analyze what ‘message’ President Reagan was trying to convey. Also, have students hypothesize about which audience the message was directed towards. A student handout follows this page and can help students organize their thoughts when reading and discussing the documents. Notes on Items: Primary Source A: This document is the first part of President Reagan’s Briefing Book and contains the letter from General Colin Powell regarding the sensitivity of the document as well as the cover page and the proposed schedule.

Evolution, Impacts, and Promise of U.S.-Russian Techno-Diplomacy Glenn E. Schweitzer ver the past seventy-five years, Russian and U.S. academies of sciences and Orelated organizations have learned a wide range of lessons through cooperation involving tens of thousands of scientists, engineers, and health professionals. When supported by the two governments, science engagement can provide many opportunities for advancing global science while helping guide future diplomacy in positive directions. One very important lesson from past experience is quite simple. Despite recurring blockages in U.S.-Russian collaboration, dedicated and enterprising scientists have become adept at finding innovative, unorthodox ways to advance programs that can benefit science and society alike.1 Although the U.S. and Russian science academies have the deepest history of carrying out bilateral cooperative programs, they have been but a small, although highly influential, component of overall collaboration involving U.S. and Russian specialists in many disciplines. As examples of other approaches, in the 1960s the Soviet government invited thousands of Americans to participate in a series of Glenn E.

Dear Delegates, Welcome to the Cabinet of Ministers of the Russian Federation. My name is Jonathan Scolare. I am a senior at American University’s School of International Service where I am majoring in International Studies and minoring in Russian Language/Area Studies. I have been involved with Model UN in one way or another since my junior year in high school. I have been involved with AU’s Model UN team since my freshman year with the exception of my year abroad in Russia. In Fall 2016, I studied at Smolny College in Saint Petersburg, Russia where I participated in the newly created Smolny Model UN club. In Spring 2017, I went on an exchange program to the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO), where I chaired the Security Council of the Moscow International Model UN Conference. This is my third AmeriMUNC appearance and my second time chairing. Outside of Model UN, I am involved with the American University International Relations Society and the United Methodist Student Association. During my free time, I enjoy playing Civilization V (as Russia, of course), studying languages, rooting for the Green Bay Packers, watching “Bob’s Burgers,” and driving my friends crazy with my arsenal of puns.
