Abstract

The article provides an overview of publications on relations between Russia and USA. The advantages of reviewing publications through the Scopus database are outlined, as well as aspects that need to be considered when compiling a search query within the selected research subject. The dynamics of the number of publications for 2016–2021, the main sources, authors, organizations funding sponsors and keywords were identified. It is determined that the greatest interest in the topic is manifested by the United States, Russia, and Great Britain. Apart from the countries of West, East and Central Africa, at least one article on relations between Russia and USA was published in almost all other states during the selected period. The results obtained proved the relevance of the study, since nothing was found in any of the indicators that would go beyond the scope of the study.
