Abstract: Russia has held to an intermediary position in the decade of conflict around the Iranian nuclear program,
attempting to guarantee its interests with both parties: Iran and the West. Contrary to its statement that such a policy is an independent act and principle in a complex area, dependency of the Moscow policy upon the USA variable and
the low esteem of the other part of this equation being Iran are obvious defects of this policy. Generally, if one does
not take any tactical changes into account, the role of Moscow in the Iranian nuclear problem was no more than a
game within the framework construed by the USA. That is why the understanding by the Moscow of the strategic
goals of the pressure upon the Teheran as expressed in the attempts of the Washington to coordinate Iran with its
long-term expansionist policy in the Middle East was not expressed in the practical policy of Russia. Such a policy
does not correspond with the principles pronounced by the Moscow on disagreement with the US expansionism
and the acts as an “independent superpower”. The author used systemic analysis of the Russian policy towards the
Iranian nuclear program as a methodological basis, and there was no evaluation of some details. The recent regional
and international events having influence upon the nuclear program of Iran and the relations between the USA and
Russia, as well as continuation of the aggressive US policy in the Middle East with the “New Greater Middle East”
on one hand and the current negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program, continuous threat of a military attack upon
Iran and the new processes in the nuclear activities in this state formed a new situation in this sphere.
Keywords: war, sanctions, diplomacy, negotiations, the Middle East, expansion, Iran, nuclear program, Russia, the USA.
