Sarah Mendelson, a senior fellow with the CSIS Russia and Eurasia Program, was quoted by Reuters, "Top U.S. Officials Say 'Impressed' With Russia’s Medvedev."
Even before she landed in Moscow, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was talking about Russian President-elect Dmitry Medvedev as someone she thought she could do business with.
With U.S.-Russia relations at a low, the Bush administration is looking anxiously at Medvedev, who takes over as president in May while outgoing President Vladimir Putin is expected to become his prime minister.
"Russia has figured pretty far down the scale and that has had consequences," said Sarah Mendelson, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think-tank.
