Dr. Sergei Khrushchev, the son of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, will speak about Russia’s future under the leadership of President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin. Originally a missile engineer in the USSR, Dr. Khrushchev is now a U.S. citizen, frequent NPR commentator, and author of more than 250 books and articles, including his father’s memoirs. As an eyewitness to the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the establishment of the Russian state, he provides a unique perspective on Russia’s future and its changing role in global politics. After his talk, Dr. Khrushchev will take questions from the audience.
This event represents a joint effort of the World Affairs Council of Oregon, the Nancy R. Chandler Visiting Scholar Program and the City Club of Central Oregon. Dr. Khrushchev is a featured speaker of the 2008 International Speaker Series in Portland.
