This paper examines historical relationships between Russia and the U.S. to determine how much they were motivated by individuals, by societal drivers like military, economic, or political ideologies or if the motivations were from the international system. This paper uses an historical analysis to explore four periods between 1815 and 2008 and concludes that the international structure and its movement can be explained by realist states working inside of the "capitalist world system." The paper relates the theory to the current unipolar international structure and states how the U.S.-Russian relationship could proceed in the future multipolar environment.
