KARAGANOV SEES SHIFT IN U.S. APPROACH TO RUSSIA. Sergei Karaganov, the head of the Foreign and Defense Policy Council, told "Segodnya" in an interview printed on 20 January that the new Bush administration will devote less attention to Russia. He said that the policies of the Clinton administration had "collapsed" and had even "led to a considerable growth in anti-American sentiments in Russian society." But the new administration wants Russia to look after itself and will react sharply only if Moscow's actions are viewed as anti-American. Because the U.S. has various means to express its displeasure, Karaganov said, President Putin will have to be cautious in his approach. PG
