Russian Roulette Episode #17

November 18, 2016

On today’s episode Olga, Jeff, and our first ever return guest Jeff Rathke, Senior Fellow and Deputy Director with the CSIS Europe Program, discuss what they learned during their recent study trips to Russia, Ukraine, and Belgium. Our hosts also venture some guesses at how the result of last week’s U.S. presidential election will affect U.S. relations with Europe, Russia, and Ukraine.
