Abstract

Moscow’s diplomacy (that of the Soviet Union and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) underwent significant changes in the final stages of Soviet history. The broad scope of Soviet–American relations and the desire to reduce military confrontation in Europe and the world were replaced by problems generated by the Baltic republics’ desire to restore their statehood and become actors in foreign policy. In 1990, following the adoption of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Russia, attempts were made to establish direct contacts at the interstate level with the republics of the Soviet Union, as well as in the sphere of “big” foreign policy, particularly with the United States. This paved the way for the conclusion of the Belovezha Accords on the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The collapse of the Soviet Union posed the challenge of ensuring nuclear security in the post-Soviet space and agreements with Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Belarus on the conditions for the withdrawal of their nuclear weapons to Russia.
