Russia after Crimea<\/strong><\/p>\n

On February 4, Leonid Gozman, president of the Union of Right Forces, professor of political psychology at Moscow State University, and Visiting Fellow at the National Endowment for Democracy, delivered a lecture at the Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues on the challenges facing Russia and the West in the wake of Russia\u2019s invasion of Crimea and its support of separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine. In his lecture, entitled \u201cRussia after Crimea,\u201d Gozman drew attention to the historical conflict between liberal and authoritarian forces in Russian politics, as well as to Russia\u2019s increasing hostility towards the West and the United States in particular. He suggested possible courses of action that the West should take in order to mitigate further escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, but also highlighted Putin\u2019s strong grip on Russia\u2019s electorate and public opinion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This program was sponsored by the Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues and co-sponsored by the Churchill Fund. It is also part of the Clarke Forum\u2019s Leadership in an Age of Uncertainty Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n
