Platform: Zoom
Russia’s experience of post-socialism began in the 1990s but has not ended, and arguably this was a repeat (or sorts) of the Great Transformation that swept through Europe and then the world in the first half of the 19th century. What were the different arguments and explanations for the crisis and collapse of the command economy and about what could and would come next? What really happened with the Russian economy of the 1990s, and why—and with what impact for current thinking about economies, economic change, and political economy more generally?
The IMARES Workshop Series hosts prominent representatives from the fields of academia, business, and politics, who deliver lectures at the European University at St. Petersburg. Our guest speakers share their knowledge and experience by touching upon a variety of topics related to Russian and Eurasian Studies.
The lectures are followed by a Q&A session allowing the IMARES students to engage in further discussion and learn more from the speakers.
