Putin, Russia and the West—No Middle Ground?

A talk with journalist Mark Seddon, former Communications Aide to Ban Ki-Moon.

This talk will explore the fraught relations between Russia and the West, beginning with the hope epitomized by glasnost and perestroika, and the contemporary gloom of mis-understanding and hostility of the early 21st century. Seddon will discuss how relations between Russia and the West could improve, or whether they need to improve at all. (From the Harriman Institute.)
