This report examines the state of relations with, and the performance of, President Putin's administration as the G-8 countries prepare for their 2006 meeting in St. Petersburg, which will be chaired by Putin. The three authors-a former British and a former Japanese ambassador to Moscow and a former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State-will analyze the challenges Russia faces and its performance in reaching democratic and market goals, and make recommendations for helping Russia meet these goals.
