This essay collection by Russian intellectuals demonstrates that the EU's Russia policy cannot succeed as long as it continues to rest on faulty analysis and mistaken assumptions. Indeed, the EU will only be able to develop an effective approach to Moscow if its policymakers rediscover some of the curiosity for Russia's internal debates that they had during the Cold War. The essays cover various topics, divided into three broad topic areas: The Putin Consensus, dilemmas of Russia's modernization, and Dmitry Medvedev's European Security Treaty proposal.
