Join the Brookings Institute for a panel discussion of what the next six years of Putin's presidential term will look like. Register here.

Vladimir Putin’s third term as Russia’s president was defined by a return to aggressive foreign policy, including military interventions in Ukraine and Syria, interference in elections in the United States and Europe, and a crackdown on domestic dissent. But as Russia’s economic model and political system seems increasingly stagnant, it is unclear how Putin will define his next term and his legacy. What might Putin’s fourth term hold in store for Russia and its neighbors? How should the United States and its trans-Atlantic allies handle the evolving Putin challenge? What is the state of opposition to Putin’s regime in Russia? How can Washington manage a coherent Russia policy amidst the unfolding and politically explosive investigations into Russian government efforts to influence the 2016 election?

Angela Stent, director of the Center for Eurasian, Russian, and East European Studies at Georgetown University
