hat can we do for democracy?
That question is the keystone to the
future of relations between the United
States and Russia, said Sergey Lavrov, the
Russian deputy foreign minister.
Lavrov said both the United States and
Russia must define their national interests to
progress diplomatically.
“National interests of the United States and
Russia are interdependent,” he said. “Since the
fall of communism, we have made progress in
defining what our specific interests are.
“However, we must continue to progress
and apply our interdependency toward better
international relations.”
Lavrov spoke Saturday to an audience of
professors, scholars and graduate assistants at
the Comhusker Hotel as part of the Hendricks

further develop relations with the United States,
he said.
“Political and military interests are related
in U.S.-Russian relations,” he said. “Political

national security, he said.
Cooperation from the United States is a
crucial part of the menu, he said. Russia is going
through serious structural change, and support
from the United States is essential, he said.
Lavrov highlighted the problems Russia is
faced with: worthless capital, unemployment, a
government that is restructuring and citizens
who still critique their government on its for
eign policy toward Bosnia. *
