Posted on 25. Sep, 2009 by PNN Editor in Books, Events, News
On Monday, October 5th at 6.30PM Labyrinth Books hosts a discussion with Stephen Cohen, Professor of Russian Studies and History at NYU, Professor Emeritus of Politics at Princeton, and Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor and publisher of The Nation, on the relationship between the Obama administration’s domestic and foreign policy agendas, with a focus on Russia.
With conflicts again dividing Russia and the United States, the need for balanced, accessible scholarship that benefits from new materials and critical perspectives is imperative. In seven lucid, groundbreaking essays, Stephen F. Cohen questions many conventional assumptions about the course of Soviet history, the fall of communism, and the effect of Russia’s policies at home and abroad.
“Stephen Cohen is far and away the most original, creative, informed, and insightful observer writing on Russian affairs today.” — Alexander Rabinowitch
“A brilliant and important book. Stephen Cohen is one of the world’s foremost thinkers about Russia — its past, present, and future — Dan Rather
Katrina vanden Heuvel is editor and publisher of The Nation. Stephen Cohen is Professor of Russian Studies and History at NYU, Professor Emeritus of Politics at Princeton and author, most recently, of Soviet Fates and Lost Alternatives: From Stalinism to the New Cold War.
