Faculty Spotlight Presents: David Satter on Russia and the Soviet Union

Description

Join host Dorothea Israel Wolfson for a curated conversation with David Satter on his new book, Never Speak to Strangers and Other Writing from Russia and the Soviet Union, Volume 2. This event is hosted by the Johns Hopkins MA in Government Program.

David A. Satter is an American journalist and historian who writes about Russia and the Soviet Union. He has authored books and articles about the decline and fall of the Soviet Union and the rise of post-Soviet Russia. Satter was expelled from Russia by the government in 2013. He is perhaps best known as the first researcher who claimed that Vladimir Putin and Russia's Federal Security Service were behind the 1999 Russian apartment bombings and is particularly critical of Putin's rise to the Russian presidency.
