SUMMARY:End of Russian Empire 2.0
DESCRIPTION:<h2>End of Russian Empire 2.0</h2><p>Having fought against Moscow’s authoritarianism in the Cold War era and played a key role in advancing democratic governance throughout the region then known as Central and Eastern Europe, Wałęsa believes this sort of change cannot come as long as Russia continues to act as an empire with expansionist goals. The 1983 Nobel Peace Prize laureate welcomes strong democratic opposition within Russia, encouraging a democratic movement there that supports Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity.</p><h3>Speaker</h3><ul><li data-list-item-id="e5ab3f82b7ba544b784433be3bd8d5046">Lech Wałęsa, Former President of Poland (1990-1995); Nobel Peace Prize Laureate; U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient.</li></ul><h3>Moderator</h3><ul><li data-list-item-id="e2ce779dc81a00b53d8e1aace372af187">Grzegorz Ekiert, Faculty Associate; Harvard Academy Senior Scholar.
