Join us in a discussion lead by Brigadier General Peter B. Zwack (ret.), covering Russia's challenges from now into the next generation. After a quick review of Moscow's current dynamics, including the role of Vladimir Putin and his 21-year regime, Zwack will take a geostrategic look at Russia by reviewing its internals and periphery, and discuss how Moscow sees the world through a prism of existential threats: real, perceived, and contrived. Throughout, he will touch on its societal issuers including Alexei Navalny and national unrest, as well as its challenged economy. Security aspects such as Russia's evolving military, cyber-enabled disruption and disinformation, nuclear weapons/dangerous new technologies and China will also be addressed with a look out to the next generation.
