Discussing Russia's Evolution

Dr. Eugene Rumer, senior fellow and director of the Russia and Eurasia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, was our special guest for Hear, Here on April 18.

While addressing the central question, “What does Russia’s relationship with the West look like in the near future and long term?”, the hourlong discussion was a captivating exploration of global dynamics. Specifically, Dr. Rumer provided insights into the future of U.S. international relations, including Russia’s wartime foreign policy; Russia’s evolving relationship with China, India and Iran; and how the war in Ukraine is a turning point for Russia, Europe and the West. The conversation was moderated by Old Trail School Associate Head of School Joe Vogel.

Prior to joining Carnegie, Dr. Rumer was the national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia at the U.S. National Intelligence Council from 2010 to 2014.
