Looking Ahead at the Next Presidential Term in Russia
Dr. Anders Åslund

Vice Chairman, Open Russia
Dr. Lilia Shevtsova
Associate Fellow, Russia and Eurasia Programme

Moderated by:

Atlantic Council
Please join the Atlantic Council for a freewheeling discussion entitled Looking Ahead at the Next Presidential Term in Russia on Monday, March 19, 2018 from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Atlantic Council Headquarters (1030 15th Street NW, 12th Floor, West Tower Elevators).
Few doubt that Vladimir Putin will be re-elected to a fourth presidential term on March 18, but there are many questions regarding what that election outcome will mean for Russia’s future. Putin’s main competitor, Alexei Navalny, was barred from participating and has called for a boycott. While a widespread boycott is unlikely, the number of recent protests suggest that political dissatisfaction is growing among at least a well-organized minority. Many questions also remain about where the next Putin Administration will take the Russian political system, economy, and foreign policy.
The Atlantic Council will host a discussion on what's next for the Russian government and population during the new presidential term.
We hope you can join us for this timely discussion.

Atlantic Council
Please join the Atlantic Council and the Johan Skytte Institute of Political Studies for a book discussion on Boris Nemtsov and Russian Politics: Power and Resistance.
On the night of February 27, 2015, an unknown assailant shot and killed Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov directly outside the Kremlin walls in Moscow. Despite an official investigation into the murder, three years later his death remains shrouded in suspicion. Some suspect Russian authorities at least tacitly approved the assassination of Nemtsov who increasingly called attention to Russia’s involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine. A leading figure in Russian politics, from his governorship of Nizhny Novgorod to his political campaigns running against Vladimir Putin, Boris Nemtsov played a large role in Russia’s transformation in the post-Soviet era.
This event will commemorate the third anniversary of Nemtsov’s passing and convene authors of the book to discuss his legacy and impact on Russian politics.
We hope you can join us for this timely discussion.

Russia After the Elections - Perspectives from the Opposition
The Duma elections on 18 September confirmed the dominant role of Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party. For over a decade, political opposition in Russia has been marginalized, and opponents to Putin have been forced into exile, imprisoned and in some cases killed. Meanwhile, the opposition is also internally divided and not unified. What do the election results mean? What lies ahead?
On October 17 the Swedish Institute of International Affairs (UI), together with Östgruppen för demokrati och mänskliga rättigheter, arranged a seminar about and with the Russian opposition.
Speakers:
Nikolai Rybakov
Deputy Chair, Russian United Democratic Party Yabloko
Amanda Valentin
Deputy Secretary-General, Swedish International Liberal Centre (SILC)
The seminar was moderated by Martin Kragh, Senior Research Fellow and Head of UI’s Russia and Eurasia Programme.
