Old enemies : new issues

Cold War era hangover keeps on taking various form of tussles between USA and Russia, even though erstwhile USSR disintegrated way back in 1991 and the world transitioned from bipolar to unipolar to multi-polar power equations.

Recently Russia adopted an anti-adoption law which doesn't allow USA citizens to adopt Russian children. It is said to be in retaliation to a USA law adopted to sanction Russians accused of human right violations.

In the past Russia has also accused American citizens not treating the adopted children from Russia humanly. There have been cases where child has died or has been abandoned by adopted parents.
