EVENT DETAILS

9–9:30 am: Registration and Continental Breakfast
9:30–11 am: Program

Historian Stephen Kotkin provides an intimate, first-ever look at the Bolshevik regime’s inner geography by bringing to attention fresh materials from Soviet military intelligence and the secret police. The product of a decade of intrepid research, Kotkin recasts the way we think about Joseph Stalin, the Soviet Union, revolution, dictatorship, and the art of history itself. He also explores Russia’s place in the world under Vladimir Putin and the prospects of a new Cold War.

Stephen Kotkin, author of Stalin, Volume I: Paradoxes of Power, 1878-1928, is the John P. Birkelund Professor in History and International Affairs at Princeton University.
