Creating a New Reset Button (RUSSIA)

This year is the 100th anniversary of Russia's parliamentary diplomacy. The State Duma, which was founded in 1906, organized its first visit to the West in 1909, when deputies visited Britain and France and were received at a very high level.

The diplomatic activity of today's Duma deputies is less formal than it was 100 years ago but no less effective. On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate-Federation Council working group held its latest meeting in Moscow with the participation of U.S. Senators Carl Levin, Bill Nelson and Susan Collins. This interparliamentary group alternately gathers in Russia and the United States to discuss the most important issues that have accumulated in U.S.-Russian relations. Based on the results of the meeting, each participant writes recommendations to their respective presidents and other top members of their executive branches.
