“Beyond Crimea: The New Russian Empire”

Agnia Grigas, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, presents her book on renascent Russian expansionism. From the Harriman Institute:

How will Russia try to redraw post-Soviet borders? In the wake of recent Russian expansionism, political risk expert Agnia Grigas illustrates how–for more than two decades–Moscow has consistently used its compatriots in bordering nations for its territorial ambitions. Demonstrating how this policy has been implemented in Ukraine and Georgia, Grigas’ new book provides cutting-edge analysis of the nature of Vladimir Putin’s foreign policy and compatriot protection to warn that Moldova, Kazakhstan, the Baltic States, and others are also at risk.
