Transatlantic Roundtable
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is a man of many and complex identities, formed from experiences in his early life, his time in the KGB, his years as mayor in the crime and corruption-ridden city of St. Petersburg, and as an “operative” in the Kremlin. Now, with Russia’s position in the global landscape more critical than ever, Fiona Hill will seek to clarify, how Vladimir Putin is operating abroad. The debate will focus particularly on Putin’s strategy towards the US rebalancing to the Asia-Pacific region and Russian relations with Syria, Iran as well as Ukraine. Coming directly from Munich, Dr. Hill will also share her insight into the latest debates from the Munich Security Conference 2014. Please join us for a discussion with our distinguished guests:
