The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) hosted a discussion in advance of Russia’s 2018 presidential election with Carnegie’s Eugene Rumer, RAND’s Samuel Charap, George Washington University’s Henry Hale, CSIS’s Olga Oliker, Georgetown University’s Angela Stent, and moderated by Susan Glasser of Politico. The experts unpacked Russian attitudes, politics, and interests on the eve of the March elections. Rumer discussed possible U.S. responses to the attack against former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal in the United Kingdom, efforts to get out the vote ahead of the election, and Putin’s fourth term agenda. He also emphasized Putin’s dichotomous goals for Russia to be a major global power and simultaneously isolated from the rest of the world.

This event was hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

    What Does Central Europe’s Post-Orban Russia Policy Look Like?

    Though Orban is gone, Putin can still count on some like-minded individuals in Central and Eastern Europe. However, they will seek to avoid open confrontation with EU institutions over Ukraine and their ties with Moscow.

    Are Russia-Japan Relations Really Warming Up?

    The truth is that Japan’s government is seeking a degree of reengagement but at a vastly reduced level than under Abe. Most significantly, Japan has shown no willingness to ease sanctions.

    In Russia, Private Companies Have Been Left to Pick Up the Tab for Ukrainian Drone Attacks

    The cost of air defense has become an unregistered tax on revenue for businesses. While military rents are consolidated in the federal budget, the costs of defense are being spread across the balance sheets of companies and regional governments.
