About this Event
Russia’s foreign policy is undergoing the most momentous and historic shift, comparable not only to the early 1990s but arguably to the seventeenth century when Russia first turned its gaze to Europe under Peter the Great. In this webinar, Professor Sergei Karaganov, the foremost and most influential foreign policy and nuclear doctrine expert in Russia will be interviewed by Professors Richard Sakwa and Radhika Desai and will respond to audience questions about this epochal policy re-orientation, its main causes and drivers, and its implications for the war in Ukraine, the polarization of the world between the West and the World Majority and about his arresting proposals for Russia’s nuclear doctrine.
