Valdai Club

The crisis in the Russia-West relations over Ukraine, which began in late 2013, became the climax of contradictions between the two sides, which have piled up since the end of the Cold War. The root of the problem is the absence of a shared vision of security for the countries in between Russia and the Euro-Atlantic structures.

On December 7, at 16:00, the Valdai Discussion Club will hold an expert discussion, titled "The Ukrainian Crisis: Quintessence of Relations Between Russia and the West?" together with the presentation of the special issue of Russia in Global Affairs journal – the Russian translation of the book “Everyone Loses: The Ukraine Crisis and the Ruinous Contest for Post-Soviet Eurasia”, written by Timothy Colton, Morris and Anna Feldberg Professor of Government and Russian Studies and the Chair of the Department of Government at Harvard University, and Samuel Charap, leading researcher at RAND Corporation.
