American Committee for US-Russia Accord

Demands are rising in Washington for confrontation.

I view the crisis in Ukraine in much the same way that Thucydides viewed the  Peloponnesian War – as a “long suicide” of the Athenian city-state.

We are pleased to welcome Nicolai N. Petro to the Board of the American Committee for US-Russia Accord. Dr. Petro’s writings on Russia and Ukraine in The National Interest and many other publications have been regularly featured on the ACURA website since we started in 2015. Professor Petro will be holding a discussion of the role of nationalism and patriotism in Ukraine on Tuesday, April 13^th, 2021,11:30 (EST) in Canada and USA: Link to ZOOM: Click here to access

The Ukraine question is at the crux of European security.

We have entered an era of anti-détente…

Stephen F. Cohen and Alexander Rabinowitch Reflect on Six+ Decades of Scholarly and Personal Engagement with Russia. At Indiana University Bloomington they were interviewed by their wives: Katrina vanden Heuvel and Janet Rabinowitch.

Katrina vanden Heuvel moderated a distinguished panel that included Governor Jerry Brown, Joe Cirincione, Cynthia Lazaroff, and Anatol Lieven. The panel reviewed the state of U.S.-Russia relations post-Trump and took a fresh look at how U.S. policy can utilize diplomacy to avert a new arms race, mitigate the chance of nuclear conflict, and revive a constructive U.S.-Russian relationship. The panel also reviewed key issues in U.S.-Russia relations and explored potential opportunities for Congressional engagement, including on cybersecurity, climate, Eastern Europe and NATO, and more.
