Voting in Russia: A Regional Analysis
May 2, 2019, 11:00am-12:00pm (RSVP required)
5th Floor Conference Room, Wilson Center, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC
Join the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute for a talk with Maria Snegovaya on regional voting patterns in Russia. In the September 2018 gubernatorial elections, several regions throughout Russia rejected pro-Kremlin candidates. In fact, Russia’s regions appear to have grown increasingly dissatisfied with a number of federal policies and increasing economic stagnation. The latest statistical analysis offers insights into which factors might hinder or contribute to the election of pro-Kremlin candidates in the regions and tools to forecast future voting patterns outside the capital.
RSVP is required.
Speaker:
Maria Snegovaya, adjunct fellow, Center for European Policy Analysis; PhD candidate, Columbia University
