Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to join the seminar of the Department of Political Science and International Affairs, which will be held on October 18, 2021 at 18:00 (Moscow time).
Speaker: Vladimir Gelman, professor at the European University at St. Petersburg (Russia) and the University of Helsinki (Finland).
Topic: "Authoritarian Russia: An Escape from Freedom, or Why Democracy Fails in this Country?"
Why was a personalist authoritarian regime established and consolidated in Russia after the collapse of communism? What are the logic and mechanisms of its political evolution? The new book by Professor Vladimir Gelman, published by Howard Roarke, is devoted to finding answers to these and other key questions for the analysis of Russian politics from a theoretical and comparative perspective. The book focuses on the interests and strategies of key political players, as well as the barriers and constraints they face in the political process.
At the seminar, Vladimir Gelman will present his new book, and also our colleagues Andrei Shcherbak and Ivan Grigoriev will act as debaters.
Language: Russian
The seminar is planned to be held in a hybrid format, however, due to the unpredictable epidemiological situation, information on the format of the seminar may change. The address and number of the audience for the seminar will be announced later.
You can connect to the seminar online through Zoom.
