Please join the Intelligence Project for our first weekly Intelligence Lunch of the semester with Daniel Hoffman on “Vladimir Putin and the Art of Intelligence.” Mr. Hoffman will discuss the rise of Russian intelligence under Putin and how Putin uses espionage as a foreign policy tool against his adversaries, including his “main enemy,” the United States.

What does this mean? Why does the US remain the main enemy? What are the implications of the meddling in the US elections? Join us for lunch on January 24th from 12:00-1:15pm in One Brattle 350 to discuss.

Daniel Hoffman is a former Chief of Station and Senior Executive Clandestine Service Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency, which included 5 years in Moscow.

Assignments included tours of duty in the former Soviet Union, Europe, and war zones in both the Middle East and South Asia. During this time, Hoffman developed substantive expertise on geopolitical and transnational issues related to the Middle East, South Asia, Russia, counter-terrorism, and cyber and counter-intelligence. Now in the private sector, Mr. Hoffman remains highly regarded for his policy experience and his work with foreign officials in the regions where he served.
