Join Chatham House for an expert roundtable on the current state of and interconnections between human and social capital in Russia. Russia’s published development agenda to 2024 focused on gaining advantage from its human capital. In reality however, issues surrounding Russia’s population remain a major challenge, considering its demographic trends, an undoubted brain drain and societal divisions. Speakers will address these issues as well as Russia’s regional disparities, migration effects and political elite dynamics and their relationship to the population at large.

Attendance is by invite only.
