Russia: An End and a New Beginning

November 7, 2013 • 9:30 – 11:00 am EST

Forecasting Russia’s Political Future

Dr. Leonid Gozman will present an analysis of the underlying psychological causes of the political crisis in Russia and profile the main actors in the political arena. In the view of Dr. Gozman, the old political system remains unsustainable and cannot be fully restored in principle. The present-day status quo is similarly untenable for a variety of economic, political, and psychological reasons. How will Russia’s political system develop moving forward? Dr. Gozman will outline a number of different scenarios.
