The Senate today confirmed Michael McFaul, the top White House adviser on Russian affairs, as the next U.S. ambassador to the Russian Federation.
McFaul, author of “The Liberty Doctrine” in Policy Review magazine in 2002, which compared and contrasted the Cold War to the Bush administration’s reaction to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, will be taking office as Russia was accepted as a member of the World Trade Organization this week after 18 years of negotiations.
