Abstract
The article demonstrates how in 2010-2012 the Congress sought to constrain the Obama administration on one of its major foreign policy tracks: enhancing cooperation with Russia. Though in some cases the White House successfully outmaneuvered its opponents, preventing the adoption of sanctions against a group of Russian officials proved impossible for the administration once a bipartisan consensus for its support emerged in both chambers of the Congress.
