This event will be hosted in person only. RSVP to attend.
We will welcome Julia Ioffe, a prominent American journalist and a Russia expert, and an author of a new book, Motherland: A Feminist History of Modern Russia, from Revolution to Autocracy.
In Motherland, Ioffe explores how women built, bent, and battled the Soviet and post-Soviet system—shaping the course of Russian history from the revolution to Putin’s dictatorship. The book has already made waves, earning Ioffe a place as a finalist for the National Book Award.
Moscow-born and U.S.–raised, Julia Ioffe is a founding partner and correspondent at D.C.–based Puck News. A graduate of Princeton University (Class of 2005, Soviet history, mentored by Stephen Kotkin), she won a Fulbright Scholarship and returned to Russia, where she reported as Moscow correspondent for The New Yorker and Foreign Policy.
Since returning to the United States, Ioffe has been a senior editor at The New Republic and has covered U.S. politics, national security, and foreign policy for The Atlantic. Her bylines include The Washington Post, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Foreign Policy, Forbes, and Politico.
A regular commentator on U.S. television, Ioffe has appeared on HBO (with Bill Maher), MSNBC, CBS, PBS, and other major outlets, bringing sharp analysis and deep expertise on Russia to American audiences.
There will be a book signing at the end of the event.
