What was the parable that led Soviet internationalism to Putin’s personalist nationalism? How can we imagine a post-Putin Russia?

A dark air of impending war hangs once again over Eastern Europe. As Russia amasses thousands of troops on the Ukrainian border and brings its demands for NATO “security guarantees” to a new level, there is fear that the situation on the ground may escalate at any time into open military confrontation. This panel, featuring world-renowned experts on post-Soviet geopolitics, will seek to unpack those very underlying conditions, and find out if and how there is any room to be had for political compromise.
The second edition of the “Russia Workshop” is organised by Reset DOC in collaboration with the Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (George Washington University)
