Description

Since Putin took the helm, Russia has been back on the map' but not in a positive light with many. European sanctions have been extended and distrust of Putin's foreign policy is considerable. The question remains: what does Putin stand for and what does he want?

To understand today's Russia, we must first go back to the 1990s. How did Russia's view of the West change? What did democracy mean then and what does it mean now? Why did Putin become so popular?

The lecture will discuss Putin's intentions, the 'state ideology' of today's Russia and how it was influenced by state ideologue Vladislav Surkov.

The drinks will start at 18:00 and the meal will follow punctually at 19:00.

Register by 12:00 on 8 January 2017 at the latest.
