Please join the Atlantic Council and the Free Russia Foundation for an event entitled Politics and Economics in Putin’s Fourth Term on Friday, May 18, 2018, from 9:45 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Atlantic Council headquarters (1030 15th Street NW, 12th Floor, West Tower Elevators).

As Vladimir Putin begins an unprecedented fourth term as president of Russia, his country stands at a critical crossroads. With a volatile economy and an increasingly authoritarian government, the country is facing high levels of political and economic uncertainty. At this event, Vladimir Milov, Russian opposition politician, and economist will join a panel of US-based experts to discuss the political and economic future of Putin’s Russia.

We hope you can join us for this timely discussion.

Mr. Vladimir Milov
Opposition Politician, Publicist, Economist, and Energy Expert
