The US was closely involved with Russian leadership after the end of the USSR that they facilitated. Eventually Putin realized he would not be allowed "at the table" with US/NATO/EU.
Russia had it chance. But russia and post KGB agents decided to pump more money in oligarchs, and create authoritarian regime. This is the problem with russia.
