About the lecture:
Russia seems to be at a crossroads – is it? How are we to understand the possible future, or futures, of Russia? And, how might Russia’s fate affect the future of the world order?

The lecture would focus on the key trends thus far, and the factors that will shape the opportunities, and risks, of Russia’s possible evolution. The speaker would also shed light on the major drivers of change in Russia’s political economy and multiple trajectories that are possible from hereon. Finally, what about Russia-China relations, now and going forward? And what might any of this mean for India?
