Join the Kennan Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center for a book talk with Alaska and Russia expert David Ramseur. 

At the height of Cold War tensions, Alaskan and Russian citizen diplomats reached across the Bering Strait to launch 30 years of perilous yet prolific dialog. Ramseur’s book, the first to document this era, is the story of how inspiration, courage and persistence can bridge a widening gap in international relations, detailing a model of cooperation sorely needed today.

Speaker:

David Ramseur, visiting scholar in public policy, Institute of Social and Economic Research, University of Alaska Anchorage; former chief of staff to U.S. Senator Mark Begich
