United States Institute of Peace | Virtual Event

Description: Russian scholars are among the many hundreds of thousands of Russians who have fled their ever-more authoritarian country since the start of Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Despite now finding themselves spread out across the world, these exiled Russian scholars have continued their teaching and research in the name of preserving Russia’s intellectual capital for future generations. They represent natural allies against Russia’s war in Ukraine. And their success a key hope for reestablishing any future free and open Russian society. Join USIP, American Purpose and the Institute of Current World Affairs for the third in a series of discussions with key figures in the Russian exile community. This conversation will look at how these scholars have managed to preserve and continue their work in the face of exile and why these efforts matter in the greater context of Russia’s political landscape.This online-only discussion requires registration in advance. A link will be sent to all registrants before the event to access the Zoom webinar.
