The End of Utopia. Russia and the USA After 2014

Zbigniew Brzezinski, a leading American geopolitical expert and author of the book "The Grand Chessboard," was one of the main ideologists of the U.S. foreign policy course.

Henry Kissinger held prominent positions in the administration of the United States for over 50 years and later became a member of influential international organizations, including the Bilderberg Group.

Edward Lucas is an influential English journalist and publicist, editor of the international section of "The Economist" magazine.

This book collects the most significant works and speeches of Z. Brzezinski and H. Kissinger, as well as articles by E. Lucas dedicated to the "end of utopia" - the sharp deterioration of relations between the USA and Russia after the well-known events of 2014. The authors show how this conflict developed, provide portraits of its main participants, and assess the actions of both the American and Russian sides.

At the same time, Brzezinski believed that Russia's policy had become unpredictable and dangerous, while Kissinger, on the contrary, assessed it as more pragmatic and measured. Accordingly, they propose different approaches to Russia on the international stage.
