United States Institute of Peace | In-Person & Virtual Event

Description: Many hundreds of thousands of Russians have fled their ever-more authoritarian country since the start of Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, joining a global exile community that has been growing for years. These people are natural allies against Russia’s war in Ukraine, and a key hope for reestablishing any future free and open Russian society. Join USIP, the Institute of Current World Affairs, and American Purpose for the final event in a series featuring prominent figures in Russia’s exile community. This conversation will examine plausible scenarios for a post-authoritarian Russia, including questions on decolonialization, collective understanding of history and Russian identity, the interests of minority regions, and the possible role of the United States and other Western countries based on lessons learned from the post-Soviet 1990s.
