Abstract

Russian officials and commentators frequently complain that Washington applies double standards regarding its own behavior and Moscow's. America, these Russians claim, calls upon Moscow not to do things that Washington permits itself to do. Moscow's vitriolic opposition to the American proposal to deploy ballistic missile defense facilities in Poland and the Czech Republic, though, suggests that it is actually these Russian officials who are guilty of applying double standards.
