Join the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace for a talk with Andrei Soldatov and Irina Borogan on their new book, "The Compatriots: The Brutal and Chaotic History of Russia's Exiles, Emigres, and Agents Abroad." Russia’s intelligence services have long fixated on the activities of Russian émigrés and exiles abroad. The lurid attacks on former intelligence officers Sergei Skripal and Alexander Litvinenko in the UK have captured much of the world’s attention. Yet these operations fit within a much wider body of efforts by Soviet and contemporary Russian intelligence agencies to target, penetrate and neutralize perceived threats. Soldatov and Borogan's book examines this history. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signature at the event.

Speakers:

Andrei Soldatov, investigative journalist; co-founder, Agentura.ru

Irina Borogan, investigative journalist; co-founder and deputy editor, Agentura.ru

Andrew S. Weiss (moderator), vice president for studies, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
