Driving Regional Fracture in Post-Communist Eurasia and Beyond

The collapse of the Soviet Union left Russia encircled by weak states and fractured regions. Some of the divisions around Russia’s periphery are legacies of the Soviet Union and Russian Empire. Others are the result of contemporary political and economic divides. From Balkans to Central Asia and the Middle East, Russia seeks to manipulate these fractures to strengthen its own influence.

This event is made possible by the generous support of Carnegie Corporation of New York.
