At a time when Russia is reasserting its influence abroad and undergoing a reemergence of regressive tendencies at home, Russian-born Leon Aron, author of the acclaimed biography Yeltsin: A Revolutionary Life, and one of America’s top Russia scholars and commentators, presents Russia's Revolution: Essays 1989-2006 (AEI Press, April 2007). This collection of twenty-one important essays brings together Aron’s observations of the last great revolution of the twentieth century, which began in the 1980s with the collapse of the Soviet Union and continues today with Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
On May 14, 2007 AEI will host a discussion of Aron’s new book, featuring two renowned specialists on Russian affairs: Blair Ruble, director of the Kennan Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center, and Angela Stent, professor of government and director of the Center for Eurasian, Russian, and Eastern European Studies at Georgetown University.
