For example, Russia still needs foreign capital assistance from Europe and the US in a bid to resurrect its economy and stabilize development. According to Russian customs' statistical data, trade with the EU stood at 36.1% of that with the rest of the outside world in 2003, making the EU Russia's current largest trading partner. Furthermore, Russia is the EU's main source of oil and natural gas in line with its diversification policy on the importation of energy sources. The two sides have gone as far as to discuss four "common spaces" during a high level summit in Rome last November. The four areas of cooperation under consideration include economics, judicial, humanitarian and internal security, education and research and external security.

不过，自从冷战结束后，双方亦建立起紧密的经济合作关系，譬如：俄国在追求经济复苏、稳定与发展之过程中仍须欧美外资之助益；依据俄罗斯海关统计数据显示，二○○三年俄国对欧贸易占其对外贸易总额之三六E一％，欧盟已成为俄罗斯目前第一大贸易夥伴，而欧盟亦视俄罗斯之石油与天然气供应为其能源进口多元化政策的主要来源之一；双方甚至於去年十一月的罗马高峰会上已讨论到建立四个「共同空间」：经济、司法及人道与内部安全、教育及研究、外部安全。

Psychiatry in Russia provides some evidence of the budding genius at work, but also proves that from scratchy and unpromising first efforts, greatness can build in the career of a documentarist. Despite the death of his brother in 1987, Albert continues to make unique and intelligent documentaries over 50 years after this first one. This is a chance to see the beginnings of a personal style that would come to revolutionise American documentary.Albert and David Maysles are key figures in the birth of the American direct cinema movement. Their mode of filmmaking involves creating a close bond with their subject so that the camera becomes a natural and unobtrusive element.

但无论如何，作为冷战时期少有的几部真实反映苏联社会现状的西方新闻纪录片，《精神病学在俄国》以不带任何政治偏见的眼光审视了苏联的精神病学发展状况和治疗手段，更展现出一位纪录片大师真诚的心，从这点上说，《精神病学在俄国》与梅索斯后来建立的&直接电影&在理念上是相同的，那就是&真实&，直接电影放弃一切画外音叙述，把镜头在被拍摄者生活中的位置降到最低，以最自然最不干预的方式记录，也正是为了追求绝对的真实。

Even so, it would be tragic if Russia's leaders used them to justify further centralising power, more crackdowns on political freedom and greater powers for the state's security forces.
