2005 Reports

From the Director

Nepomnyashchy, Catharine

With the advent of spring, a season of commemorations is well upon us. The 60th anniversary of the end of World War II will be followed in the fall by the 60th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. At the same time, April 2005 marks the 20th anniversary of Mikhail Gorbachev's rise to power. Moreover, as we look down the road to September 2006, we come to the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Russian Institute at Columbia University.
