Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the cooperation between the European Union and the Russian Federation in the area of fighting terrorism. Attention is drawn especially to the implementation of joint declarations adopted at UE-RF summits. The discrepancy between the legal systems of the two subjects and the ensuing differences are highlighted. The author underscores a lack of explicit political will on the part of the RF administration to introduce substantial changes in the Russian law-making procedures and to ratify international agreements, particularly in the domain of protection of human rights and personal data. A forecast for cooperation between the UE and RF in the nearest years is also presented.
