Pro et Contra, or CMC @20 = CMC 2.0
The quarterly journal Pro et Contra, published by the Carnegie Moscow Center, is being retooled as a web-based online publication, which the Center plans to roll out later in 2014.
Published on May 12, 2014
The Carnegie Moscow Center (CMC) is turning 20 this year. To us at Carnegie, hitting the 20 year milestone doesn't mean resting on our laurels. Rather, we are gearing up to launch CMC 2.0. We are now making plans to ensure that the Center's activities remain cutting-edge and staunchly independent and that our research activities tackle the most pressing and challenging policy issues facing Russia and the broader post-Soviet region.
Since 1996, the quarterly journal Pro et Contra has been the Carnegie Moscow Center's flagship publication. Founded by Marina Pavlova-Silvanskaya and led for many years by our esteemed colleague Maria Lipman, its contributions to Russian intellectual debate and scholarly research have been invaluable.
Clearly, the rapid growth of the Internet and related technologies gives us new opportunities to reach wider and younger audiences, and to stay in touch with them 24/7. To take full advantage of these new opportunities, Pro et Contra is being retooled as a web-based online publication, which we plan to roll out later in 2014.
Stay tuned!

- Including Russia on the EU Financial Blacklist Will Hurt Ordinary People, Not the KremlinCommentary
The paradox of the European Commission’s decision is that the main victims will not be those it formally targets. Major Russian businesses associated with the Putin regime have long adapted to sanctions with the help of complex schemes involving third countries, offshore companies, and nonpublic entities.

The volume of frozen private assets might seem insignificant compared with Russia’s sovereign reserves, but these are the savings of millions of people who believed that foreign securities were a safe investment and in the institution of private property.

International compliance and anti-money laundering standards are currently formulated in such a way that the Western financial system does not differentiate between Russian political prisoners and ISIS militants.
