FROM:
Lawrence H. S1muners
~UB.JECT:
Core Themes for Ongoing United Stales Engagement with Russia
You asked me to forward to you my thoughts on the core themes of our public and private
engagement with Russia in the comlng months.
Clearly, as Strobe's recent memo to you highlighted, we must continue to stand by the principle
upon whi.ch your Russian policy has rested since 1993. The United States has an enonnous
strategic stake in a peaceful democratic transition in Russia and we must seize every realistic
opportunity to make a difference...:. even as we recognize the enonnity of the obstacles in
Russia's path and the limits on our capacity to help.
It will, however, be critical going fonvard that we not appear insensitive to the pain that Russians
have suffered or to the policy implications of the developments of the past year.
iEP 1613~40
•
Russia is not making economic policy progress and, in a climate of intense pre·election
maneuve.ring, the government is not credibly committed to a refmmist agenda.
•
Longstanding problems of corruption and abusive concentration of economic power seem to
be getting worse not better.
•
Largely as a result of these factors, market-oriented refonn, for the moment, Lacks a solid
wnstituency in Russia- lmd United State:s domestic suppott for helping Russia has eroded.
Ow· hard-headedness needs to be reflected in our public discussion of Russia as well as in the
substantive direction of our policy of engagement. We should not promise too much for tht:
n1ture nor claim too much for the past.
Key points to make publicly:

•
We 11avc an enormous stake in Russia's becoming a stable market democracy, and we will·
continue to support that outcome in every way feasible. But Russia will s~1ape its own
destiny. We calmot want change more than the Russians themselves do. ,
•
Recent events have once again underlined why conditionality of international support needs ·
always to be applied vigorously to ensure that money flowing into a country does not flo\v
Fig~t back o¥t again- and that the net result of our efforts is not just a higher level of official
debt.

practices at the central bank as well as the July 1998 IMF disbursement.
•
Bilateral and multilateral support for Russia in the future will b~ shaped by the same kind 1.11'
realism.
Key elements of policy going forward:
•
Setting the realistic aspiration of maintaining a minimum level of stability in Russia.
•
Conditioning further rMF tranches on there being effective safeguards that lending will not
he misappropriated, a satisfactory accounting of relevant central bank activities, and genuine
broad-based implementation of rcfonns, not just conunitments.
•
With respect to future bilateral and multilateral efforts in Russia:
•
Cond~mning
comJption and actively supporting measures that reduce its in11uence in
Russia and potential impact on the United States.
•
S.upportjng steps that will encourage the development of dcmocraLic institutions and n
functioning rule oflaw.
•
·
Finding nontraditional routes for our engagement that focus more directly on those
leaders and pruis of the country that are most receptive to positive economic and political
change- the young especially.
