A panel discussion featuring: - Timothy Frye, Director, Harriman Institute and Marshall D. Shulman Professor of Post-Soviet Foreign Policy - Olesya Gerasimenko, 2014 Paul Klebnikov Russian Civil Society Fellow - Todd Gitlin, Professor of Journalism and Sociology - Oxana Shevel, Associate Professor of Political Science at Tufts University - Moderated by Ann Cooper, CBS Professor of Professional Practice in International Journalism This event is part of the Klebnikov Russia Program at Harriman Institute.
