RM Event: Seminar on the Russian Presidential Elections

Room 402, One Brattle Square, Cambridge, MA

On March 18, Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely to be reelected for a fourth six-year term. What might this mean for the future of the U.S.-Russia relationship?

Please join us for a seminar on the Russian presidential elections and their impact on Moscow's relationship with Washington. The speakers will discuss how the bilateral relationship may evolve as Trump and Putin remain in power. In particular, they will look at the future of U.S.-Russian arms control agreements and the ways in which changes in Russia's national power will continue to affect the bilateral relationship. 

Speakers:
Nikolas Gvosdev, Professor of national security at the U.S. Naval War College
Gary Samore, Executive director for research at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
Simon Saradzhyan, Director of the Russia Matters Project
