Election 2016: Russia and Putin

Kennan Institute Director Matt Rojansky discusses US-Russia relations after Election 2016 and offers advice to the next president on the best way to address the challenges presented by Russia.

Can you remember a time when a foreign leader was talked about as frequently as Vladimir Putin has been during election 2016? Kennan Institute Director, Matt Rojansky says that you’d have to go back to the Cold War to find anything close. With Russia and Putin casting long shadows over the presidential race, we asked Matt to provide analysis of implications for US-Russia relations and to offer advice to the next president on the best way to address the challenges presented by Russia. That’s the focus of this edition of  Wilson Center NOW.
