Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of 2017 it would seem impossible for Russia to co-operate with the West as it had before. And yet, Russia’s role and level of official communication with Washington and Berlin has to some extent drastically increased. Vladimir Putin clearly understands that the West would rather swallow its own words, forget about “red lines” and maintain an illusion of co-operation with Russia than confront it.
