Please join The Houston Seminar and the World Affairs Council of Houston for a “Kennan Conversation” on Russia, its president Vladimir Putin and Russian policies toward the United States and the rest of the world. This will be primarily a back-and-forth discussion with the audience rather than a lecture, so if there are things you’ve always wanted to know about Russia, this is your opportunity.

This event is part of the “Kennan Conversations” program of the Wilson Center’s Kennan Institute in Washington, D.C. The Kennan Conversation program brings top experts on Russia and the region to cities across the United States, so that local audiences have the opportunity to listen to and engage with them and learn more about this increasingly important part of the world.
