Dr. Andrei Kortunov, President of the New Eurasia Foundation, will join us for a
discussion on U.S.-Russia relations. President Vladmir Putin dismissed the
Russian Prime Minister on Wednesday, replacing him with Victor Zubkov. The new
Prime Minister is one of a handful of candidates who are likely to succeed
Putin in the presidential elections next March. What effect will the new change
have on the Russian government? What do these changes reveal about the role
Putin intends to play in Russian politics after the election? How will these
events effect
relations with the West?
