How the Past and Present Will Shape Russia's Future

Wednesday, May 7, 2025
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Beverly Hilton - Beverly Hills Ballroom

Thirty-five years after the end of the Cold War, Russia’s place in global political and economic affairs cannot be ignored. From its role as a nuclear and energy superpower, Russia continues to shape global power dynamics, while its geographic position and security interests drive economic and defense responses from Europe to Central and East Asia. Political and economic shifts within Russia have far-reaching global consequences: from the fallout of its war in Ukraine to the future of its postwar economy and its evolving relationship with OPEC. These and related issues bring together leading voices on Russia—from leading scholars to policymakers and political activists—to discuss how Russia’s past and present may shape its future.
