I am aware of that. I was also involved in Partnership for Peace in an official capacity.
I recall working with some Russian colleagues, and IIRC the Russian Federation joined the PfP in 1994. Hell Russia had a liaison office at SHAPE in the 90's, and the Russian airborne brigade worked with the Americans in the Northern sector in Bosnia during IFOR ... not sure what A Van is getting at.
