Warsaw Office of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR)

Scenarios for the Eastern Neighbourhood

Where is Russia heading and what does it mean for Poland and the EU

 

on the 31st of May from 3:00pm to 4:45pm

The discussion coincided with the release of the ECFR’s report „Russia 2030: A story of great power dreams and small victorious wars” by Andrew Wilson and Frederik Wesslau. The analysis covers present trends in Russian foreign and domestic policy, their expected consequences for the role of Russia in the region in 2030 and its implications for the EU and Poland. We recommend you as well the recent publication by Nikolay Petrov: „Putin’s downfall. The coming crisis of the Russian regime”.
