This event will focus on the individuals and events at the founding of the Kennan Institute in 1974. The challenge we face with Russia today is not unlike 1974, in that the national conversation about the region focuses entirely on politics and security. The Kennan Institute鈥檚 cofounders鈥擥eorge Kennan, James Billington, and S. Frederick Starr鈥攅stablished the Institute to counter that trend鈥攖o provide not just a resource for advanced academic research, but to connect the scholars doing it with policymakers so that better research and better policy would result. That mission is as important today as back then, and this event will enable participants to hear about the thoughts and perspectives from that earlier time.
