Online Q&A on Russian Foreign Policy
Thu, March 10th, 2016
Virtual
Amid the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and intervention in Syria, Putin’s foreign policy has highlighted his country’s aspirations to regain its status as a key geopolitical player. To help make sense of Russia’s increasingly assertive and disruptive behavior, Andrew S. Weiss and Paul Stronski participated in a Reddit ‘Ask Me Anything’ on March 10, 2016. Participants asked these seasoned former U.S. government experts about topics related to Russian foreign policy. This online Q&A is part of a series of AMAs done with the help of the Geopolitics Subreddit.
