Please join the Fletcher Eurasia Club for a lunch seminar with visiting scholar Yury Terekhov, who has worked with various Russian opposition figures and whose research focuses on nation-building and civil society in Russia. He will discuss the grassroots anti-war movement inside Russia, anti-war initiatives in the Russian diaspora, and Russia's rising ethnic tensions.

We encourage you to read in advance his report on surveying Russian anti-war resistance practices and the following articles on the anti-war movement's strength and potential, the hesitation behind domestic participation in anti-war demonstrations, reasons behind Russian society's high level of support for the war, and recent protests in the Republic of Bashkortostan. The Eurasia Club weekly lunch seminar series engages with students, faculty, staff, and researchers to foster a better understanding of the region among members of the Fletcher community.
