by the Women's Foreign Policy Group at NYU Washington, DC, 1307 L St.
NW, WDC 20005. Tickets are at www.wfpg.org. How
did Russia manage to emerge resurgent on the world stage and play a weak hand
so effectively? Is it because Putin is a brilliant strategist? Or has Russia
stepped into a vacuum created by the West's distraction with its own domestic
problems and US ambivalence about whether it still wants to act as a
superpower? PUTIN'S WORLD examines the country's turbulent past, how it has
influenced Putin, the Russians' understanding of their position on the global
stage and their future ambitions--and their conviction that the West has tried
to deny them a seat at the table of great powers since the USSR collapsed.

Islam and exclude American Muslims from their inalienable rights. Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/1379671938851308/.
