On Russia After The Cold War's Nuclear Non-proliferation Policy Within The Cis

The collapse of Soviet Union was one of the most significant events in the history of international relations, which produces a profound influence to international relations. From the perspective of international nuclear security, the former Soviet Union had a large nuclear arsenal, therefore, the collapse of it inevitably affects the international nuclear non-proliferation regime heavily and brings lots of practical problems to Russia—the legal successor of Soviet Union, in the field of nuclear non-proliferation. Therefore, once Russia's nuclear non-proliferation policy was the focus of the international community.The 1st chapter of this article analyzes the reasons for the exacerbation of international nuclear proliferation in the post-cold war period, and points out the major problems faced by Russia in the nuclear non-proliferation field. The 2nd chapter mainly expounds how Russia eliminates nuclear proliferation threats from the three countries from the Commonwealth of Independent States. The 3rd chapter mainly analyzes how Russia eliminates domestic proliferation risks and explicitly explains Russia's nuclear supervisory framework. The 4th chapter summarizes the substance and features of Russia's nuclear non-proliferation policy on the basis of the former two chapters, and makes further prediction on its trend in the future.The present nuclear non-proliferation policy of Russia will not be fundamentally changed in a relatively long period. Russia will hold fast to the present non-proliferation framework and seek proper improvement and adjustment to it, thus the cooperation between U.S. and Russia in the nuclear non-proliferation field will continue.
