Part I of Russia: When’s the Next Revolution?
Part II of Russia: When’s the Next Revolution?
Protesters in the streets call for "Russia without Putin," drawing on foreign ideas and the support of a rising, but marginalized middle class. The master of the Kremlin, essentially outside constitutional constraint, broods on what to do next. Hard-line defenders of the status quo marshal their forces, while moderate reformists hope to find some peaceful consensus. And much of the population remains resigned, apathetic, otherwise engaged, or supportive of the government. On the 95th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, join the NYU Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia and the SCPS Center for Global Affairs for a discussion about Russia's future: how does one explain the current mix in Russian current affairs? Is dramatic change on the way, or will we look back at the present ferment as a passing irrelevance? Can Putin recover his former mastery of his country, or is his rule and the system he built truly in trouble?
