Global Conversations ST. PAUL: Putin’s Re-election – Stability or Stagnation?

Online registration is closed.

This Global Conversations is presented in partnership with the Kennan Institute of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

Vladimir Putin’s March 2018 re-election victory was never in doubt. Now that he’s officially back in power, where is he headed? Will he move forward with the economic reform he touts in theory, but ignores in practice? Will he slip backward into Brezhnev-style stagnation? Will his supporters stick with him, in his 18th year at the center of power?

Join speaker Jill Dougherty, Global Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center and former Moscow bureau chief and correspondent for CNN, for a thought-provoking evening as she discusses the future of Russian foreign policy and power in the region.
