Washington and Moscow are facing a potentially damaging crisis that could cast a
shadow on the Obama administration’s record on national security and foreign
policy. No matter how much both sides will downplay the importance of an alleged
Russian spy ring in the United States, the salient facts recall the arrests of
spies during the Cold War and will make more difficult the planned “reset” of
relations between the two governments.

President Dmitry Medvedev is under pressure to clarify his stand on a law he had proposed. That law is now invoked in the most controversial trial in recent Russian history by the defendant who is trying to foil a new ploy to keep him in prison. Medvedev is also faced with a decision on a human rights council under his authority. In both cases, he may find it hard to avoid standing up and be counted.

Russia’s leaders and people commemorated the 65th anniversary of the victory over Nazism with welcome departures from the routine that may yet prove historic. Even though President Barack Obama declined an invitation to attend, he enhanced the festive mood of Russia’s most important secular holiday by praising his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev and recalling the intensity of the wartime alliance between the two nations.
