Abstract
In the current situation of increasing confrontation between Russia and the West under the leadership of the United States, strategic arms control as a tool to reduce the risks of nuclear war and military threat in general, maintain strategic stability and ensure predictability in the field of strategic offensive arms cannot but be, evidently, at the center of the leadership and the expert community of Russia. The possible options for advancing the position of Moscow on the topic of START and strategic stability are discussed and a number of proactive solutions to this effect are suggested, in particular in terms of the possible continuation and development of the parameters of the New START Treaty of 2010 as well as topics of mutual interest when resuming consultations between the parties on strategic stability. The author proceeds from the belief that an initiative political line in this direction contributes to strengthening the key foundations of the security of Russia.
