Cooperation between US and Russia: Joint Mars Missions
I was doing research on the mars missions and came across a timeline on the Malin Mars Space Sciences website detailling the joint missions between the US and Russia occuring between 1992 through 1999.
Then there's a shift and there's only US missions to Mars from 2000 on... I've found research on Russian missions from the 60s to the 90s, but then it's like it just disappears on the mars scene. My question is what happened to these martian joint missions/cooperation between the US and Russia? Politics (with the changes in government?) Lack of Russian resources for these projects?

If you're talking about the timeline here, it's kind of misleading. The 1990's missions were all American, except for the Mars 96 mission, which was almost entirely Russian. MSSS's involvement was only to support data relays using Mars Global Surveyor.
As for the lack of recent Russian missions, they probably just haven't had the money to launch them. Their track record with Mars missions is also rather depressing.
