Join the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute for an online discussion (over Facebook Live) with Igor Zevelev on crises in the post-Soviet region. Over the past six months, a series of crises has convulsed Russia’s near abroad. There has been a popular uprising in Belarus, violence and leadership changes in Kyrgyzstan and a now-settled hot war between Armenia and Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh. Each of these cases has presented a unique set of challenges to Russia’s pursuits in its neighborhood. What has Russia’s response to these crises been and how has its standing in the post-Soviet region been affected? If there are more crises to come, how might Russia respond to them?

Watch this upcoming Facebook Live on November 20 here.

Igor Zevelev, Global Fellow, Kennan Institute; former professor at George Marshall European Center for Security Studies; former director, MacArthur Foundation, Moscow Office
