Ambassador Victoria Nuland has served six presidents and ten Secretaries of State. In her position as Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, she gained a reputation in Putin's Russia for representing everything the Chekist state feared most: values that implied the right of people to choose and remove their rulers. Could the EU and the US have prevented full-scale Russian aggression in Ukraine? Why was it not possible to save Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, killed two years ago in Russian prison? What are the differences between US foreign policy towards the Color Revolutions and current US policy towards Venezuela, Iran, or Cuba? You will hear answers to these and many other questions in the upcoming conversation between Ambassador Nuland and Dr. Yevgenia Albats, part of the series Russia and Its Neighbors: in Search of A New Paradigm.
