Article Abstract:

The NATO air campaign against Yugoslavia brought about a dangerous turn in Russian-Western relations, although tensions have since eased. The anger and suspicion engendered on the Russian side will not easily dissipate however. Russia is uneasy about NATO's post-Cold War transformation, and repairing relations will need political realism in Russia and restraint from NATO.
