Registration REQUIRED by 4pm on December 1, 2026 in order to attend this event.
The full-scale invasion of Ukraine has sent thousands of Russians into exile — including many of the country’s independent journalists who are targeted as “undesirable” or “foreign agents.” Meanwhile, a Foreign Ministry sanctions list bans dozens of American journalists and academics from entering the country, while others find it too dangerous to go there. With Russia off limits, how do scholars and journalists continue to study and report on the country?
Please join the Harriman Institute and the Overseas Press Club of America for this discussion of the current challenges for scholars, foreign correspondents, and Russian journalists in exile who study and report on Russia.
Speakers
Timothy Frye, Marshall D. Shulman Professor of Post-Soviet Foreign Policy; Former Director of the Harriman Institute
Valerie Hopkins, Russia Correspondent, The New York Times
Mikhail Zygar, Independent Russian Journalist; Book Author; Adjunct Professor of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University
Moderator: Ann Cooper, Editor-in-Chief, Harriman Magazine
This panel discussion will be followed by a reception.
