23.02.2012
Dr Nikolay Petrov, the Scholar in Residence at the Carnegie Moscow Center, will give a public lecture in University of Tartu on March 1st at 2.15 pm in UT Faculty of Social Sciences and Education (Lossi 36, room 103). Welcome!
Nikolay Petrov is Scholar in Residence at the Carnegie Moscow Center, where he chairs the program "Society and regions." He also serves as a columnist for The Moscow Times, a member of PONARS-Eurasia, and a member of scientific board of The Journal of Power Institutions in Post-Soviet Societies and of editorial board of Russian Politics and Law. Petrov earned his Ph.D. from the Moscow State University in 1982. In 1990 - 1995, he served as an advisor to the Russian parliament, government, and presidential administration.
Petrov is the author or editor of numerous publications dealing with Russia's political regime, post-Soviet transformation, socio-economic and political development of Russia's regions, democratization, federalism, and elections, among other topics.
Dr Petrov's lecture "Is The Party Over? Putin in March 4 Presidential Elections and Prospects for Russia's Future" will analyse the topic of ongoing Presidential elections in Russia and the general political state of the country.
UT Professor of EU-Russia studies, Viacheslav Morozov, said: "Presidential elections take place against the background of an unprecedented surge of grassroots political activities in Russia, including multiple protest actions all over the country. While Vladimir Putin is still most likely to win this time, the Russian political system is already undergoing significant changes, which put Russia in the spotlight of the global media. Nikolay Petrov, an internationally acclaimed expert on Russian politics, is going to
present his analysis of the current events and to answer questions from the audience."
Petrov's works include the three-volume 1997 Political Almanac of Russia (in Russian) and the annual supplements to it. He is the co-author of Between Dictatorship and Democracy: Russian Post-Communist Political Reform (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 2004), The Dynamics of Russian Politics: Putin's Reform of Federal-Regional Relations in two volumes (Rowman & Littlefield, 2004, 2005), Putin's Russia: Past Imperfect, Future Uncertain (Rowman & Littlefield, 2010), Overmanaged Democracy in Russia: Governance Implications of Hybrid Regimes (Carnegie papers, 2010), and Russia in 2020: Scenarios for the Future (CEIP, 2011).
The lecture is organized by the Centre for EU-Russia Studies (CEURUS), University of Tartu.
