2017 Reports

From the Director

Cooley, Alexander

This academic year is an important one at the Harriman Institute. Not only are we celebrating our 70th anniversary, but we are also marking the 25th year since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The post-Soviet era has seen many phases and turns, from post-Cold War triumphalism and the onset of the "transition," to the return of the post-Communist states to Europe, and attempts to come to terms with post-Socialism and the onset of Communist-era nostalgia.
