Facebook Live: The Russian Intelligence Community in the Current Time of Troubles

July 9, 2020, 11:00-11:45am
Online (Facebook Live)

Join the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute on Thursday, July 9 for the latest in an occasional series featuring discussions with leading experts and thinkers on Russia and Eurasia. The talk will focus on today's Russian intelligence community. Between an assassination in Germany, allegations of bounties in Afghanistan and a continuing campaign of espionage both cyber and human abroad, Russia's spooks continue to be busy. Has coronavirus affected them? And what are the prospects for future activity, including meddling in US politics? Questions like these will be addressed in the talk. 

The talk will be broadcast on the Kennan Institute's Facebook Live feed, which can be found at this link.

Speakers:

Mark Galeotti, director, Mayak Intelligence Consultancy; honorary professor, University College London School of Slavonic and East European Studies

Matthew Rojansky, director, Kennan Institute
