Join the Kennan Institute for a talk with Marlene Laruelle on the different ideological “ecosystems” that co-exist and compete for resources and attention in today’s Russia. Far from being the ideological monolith often described by Western pundits, the Russian regime nurtures ideological diversity. Laruelle will particularly discuss the place of Russian nationalists and how they interact within these intellectual ecosystems, as well as with the Kremlin itself. RSVP is requested.

Speaker:

Marlene Laruelle, associate director and research professor, Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (IERES), Elliott School of International Affairs; director, Central Asia Program, The George Washington University; co-director, PONARS
