Russia is an underdeveloped totalitarian state without any law and order,” Kremenyuk said, in an interview to
Vremya Novostei. From his point of view, a good relationship between Putin and Bush does not mean a lot for the current Russia-U.S. relations. “At the moment Bush should be primarily concerned about the way his comments on Russia and Putin are interpreted by the Americans. He may suffer a political defeat if he continues to maintain good relations with Putin,” Kremenyuk said.
