A conversation with Sergei Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States since 2008, will be the first event hosted by the interdisciplinary Russian Studies Project recently launched at the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale.
The Russian Studies Project will present a multi-faceted set of events to inform and engage student and faculty interests in the nation, drawing on the enduring and new lessons of Russia history, Russian culture as depicted in film, and the ideas of contemporary thinkers focused on Russia at this pivotal time. The project is led by Paul Bushkovitch, the Reuben Post Halleck Professor of History; Thomas Graham, senior fellow at the Jackson Institute; and John MacKay, professor of Slavic languages and literatures, and film and media studies.
