Popular Geopolitics in Russia and Post-Soviet Eastern Europe

This two-day workshop focuses on the societal or ‘popular’ dimension of geopolitics in Russia and post-Soviet Eastern Europe. 

Attendance is by invitation only, but anyone interested in the results of the workshop should contact Dr. Joanna Szostek

Among the questions to be addressed are
