This is the first book to examine the recent evolution of that tense and often violent relationship from both the Russian and German perspectives. Angela Stent combines interviews with key international figures--including Mikhail Gorbachev--with insights gleaned from newly declassified archives in East Germany and her own profound understanding of Russian-German relations. She presents a remarkable review of the events and trends of the past three decades: the onset of d tente, the unification of Germany, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the rise of an uncertain new European order. Stent reveals the chaos and ambivalence behind the Soviet negotiating strategy that led--against Gorbachev's wishes--to that old Soviet nightmare, a united Germany in NATO. She shows how German strength and Russian weakness have governed the delicate dance of power between recently unified Germany and newly democratized Russia. Finally, she lays out several scenarios for the future of Russian-German relations--some optimistic and others darkened by the threat of a new authoritarianism. Russia and Germany Reborn is crucial reading for anyone interested in a relationship that changed the course of the twentieth century and that will have a powerful impact on the next. 606 $aNational security$zEurope 606 $aWorld politics$y1989- 607 $aSoviet Union$xForeign relations$zGermany 607 $aGermany$xForeign relations$zSoviet Union 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xForeign relations$zGermany 607 $aGermany$xForeign relations$zRussia (Federation) 607 $aGermany$xHistory$yUnification, 1990 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a327.47043 700 $aStent$b Angela$0685873 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825876903321 996 $aRussia and Germany reborn$91268569 997 $aUNINA
