Meet former CNN foreign affairs correspondent and former Kennan Institute Public Policy Scholar, Jill Dougherty.

Join us for light hors d’oeuvres and the opportunity to chat with Jill Dougherty at a private pre-event reception. Following the reception, Jill will speak about Vladimir Putin’s efforts to harness the Russian media and employ his “national idea” of Russia’s rightful place in the world to achieve its foreign policy objectives in our Kennan Conversation: Vladimir Putin’s Vision of a Resurgent Russia.
