Recovering the Empire: Ideology, Politics, and Potential Targets

Grant Year: 2017

Leon Aron will lead an effort to develop an intellectual and policy framework to anticipate possible Russian efforts to subvert the independence of its neighbors. He will commission analyses by scholars and experts on the Russian military as well as country experts on Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Estonia, Latvia, and Moldova. They will analyze the likelihood and character of potential Russian attempts to intervene in or coerce these states, either directly or indirectly. The project’s findings will appear in an edited volume.
