本文分析了近年来俄美关系迅速恶化并深陷危机的基本原因是：美国忽视俄罗斯重要的地缘战略利益；俄希望西方承认俄罗斯及其建立的安全体系；俄美对各自在世界体系中的作用有截然不同的看法。文章强调，奥巴马“重启”战略几乎没有涉及对俄罗斯具有头等意义的重要战略利益。俄美最主要的利益不在双边关系领域，而是在与第三国的关系方面。本文认为，俄美如不开展建设性合作，就无法落实各自的利益。因此，俄应建议美不是“重启”，而是重新调整美俄关系，在两国根本利益和优先方面的基础上与俄做一笔“大交易”。

This paper analyzes the basic reasons of the rapid deterioration and the crisis of U.S.-Russian relations as follows: the United States ignored Russia's important geo-strategic interests; Russia wishes the West to recognize Russia and its established security system; Russia and the United States holds quite different views on their respective roles in the world system. This article emphasizes that President Obama’s “restart” strategy involves almost no important strategic interests which are of great significance to Russia. The main interests of Russia and the United States are not in the bilateral relations, but in the relations with the third countries. This paper argues that Russia and the United States can’t implement their own interests without constructive cooperation. Therefore, Russia recommends that the U.S. should not “reset”, but re-adjust the US-Russia relations and do a “big deal” with Russia on the basis of their fundamental interests and priorities.
