Join us for a special Forum event on Thursday, October 23rd, from 6:00 pm to 7:15 pm as former CNN Moscow Bureau Chief Jill Dougherty interviews two of Russia’s leading strategic thinkers to get the view from Moscow on Ukraine, Iran, nuclear arms and other aspects of the relationship with the United States.

Today, Russian president Putin enjoys historic high popularity among his own people (>80% approval) at the same time he has the worst ratings among Americans ever (>60% disapproval).  Come to the Forum on October 23rd and find out why we have such different views on Putin and other key issues.
