SUMMARY:Sergie Medvedev: The Return of the Russian Leviathan
DESCRIPTION:Global Speakers Program \nRussia’s relationship with its neighbors and with the West has worsened dramatically in recent years. Under Putin’s leadership\, the country has annexed Crimea\, begun a war in Eastern Ukraine\, used chemical weapons on the streets of the UK\, and created an army of Internet trolls to meddle in the US presidential elections. How should we understand this apparent relapse into aggressive imperialism and militarism? \nSergei Medvedev will discuss this new wave of Russian nationalism which he feels is the result of mentalities that have long been embedded within the Russian psyche. Whereas in the West\, the turbulent social changes of the 1960s and raising awareness of the legacy of colonialism have modernized attitudes\, Russia has been stymied by an enduring sense of superiority over its neighbors alongside a painful nostalgia for empire. It is this irrational worldview that Putin and others have exploited\, as seen most clearly in Russia’s recent foreign policy decisions\, including the annexation of Crimea.
