Registration REQUIRED by 4pm on October 14, 2025 in order to attend this event.

Please join the Program on U.S.-Russia Relations for a lecture by Peter Clement. Moderated by Elise Giuliano.

This talk revolves around two questions: Were there clear turning points in the hardening of Putin's policy toward the US and the West more broadly since he became Russia's president in 2000? What factors led Putin to eschew largely successful foreign policy pragmatism in favor of his fateful decision to reinvade Ukraine?
