Russia was a communist government until 1989 and had satellite states as blockers against the West and the "cold" war. Both sides often accused each other of breaking treaties. The United States has been a Democratic republic since 1789 which is in opposition to a communist government like Russia. The US also had a policy in the 1950's to stop the spread of communism in the world which put them at odds with Russia. Good examples of this policy is Korea, Vietnam war, Berlin Wall, and the Cuban missile crisis.
