Since the end of World War II, there have been 11 meetings between the presidents of the United States and those of the Soviet Union, and then of Russia.

The first meeting took place during the Potsdam Conference in 1945 between Harry Truman and Joseph Stalin, where the post-war order was established.

In the 1960s, Kennedy–Khrushchev meetings, including the Vienna Summit in 1961, did not avert the Cuban Missile Crisis, but they did open direct channels of communication.

The 1970s marked an improvement in relations between Washington and Moscow, with two key meetings: Nixon-Brezhnev and Carter-Brezhnev, where the "Salt 1" and "Salt 2" agreements on the limitation of nuclear weapons were signed.

In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev held four summits, culminating in the historic 1987 agreement to eliminate intermediate-range missiles. In 1991, George HW Bush and Gorbachev declared the end of the Cold War.

After the Soviet period, meetings were shorter and often symbolic: Clinton–Yeltsin on the Russian transition, Bush II, Putin in 2001 on the fight against terrorism, Obama–Medvedev in 2009 on the revitalization of relations, and several Trump–Putin meetings, the most controversial in Helsinki 2018.

On June 16, 2021, Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin met in Geneva to discuss cybersecurity, human rights, Ukraine, and arms control. The meeting was described as constructive, but no concrete agreements were reached.

After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, direct contacts between the two countries were severed.
