MOSCOW – The emergence of a Kremlin leader, President Dmitri Medvedev, without a KGB background, combined with the economic crisis, has inspired talk that when Barack Obama visits Moscow, America’s president will be seeing a country on the verge of a new political thaw, a revived perestroika . But pushing the “re-set button” on US-Russia relations may be harder than Obama and his team imagined.
发自莫斯科——作为一个没有克格勃背景的克里姆林宫领导人，迪米特里·梅德韦杰夫总统的成功崛起在加上经济危机的影响，令外界不禁猜测当美国总统奥巴马正式踏上莫斯科之行时，呈现在美国人眼中的俄罗斯会是一个政治桎梏即将解禁的国度，一个重焕改革之光的国度。但对奥巴马和他的团队来说，启动全新美俄关系的“重设按钮”可比他们想象中要更难触动。
