Join the Kennan Institute for a talk with Martin Gilman on Western sanctions against Russia and Russia's economic outlook. Despite uncertainty in the world economy and sanctions, Russia’s economy is set for a broad-based economic recovery. Policies to boost public spending, notably investment, should contribute. Martin Gilman will explore why the Russian authorities have been able to marginalize the impact of the US-instigated sanctions. Gilman will underscore how the most recent legal case involving Baring Vostok could have a much more chilling effect on economic prospects. RSVP for this event is required.

Speaker:

Martin Gilman, professor of economics, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow
