Registration REQUIRED by 4pm on February 5, 2026 in order to attend this event.

Please join the Program on U.S.-Russia Relations at the Harriman Institute and the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies for a lecture by Harley Balzer. Moderated by Peter Clement.

The volume "FAILURE: Russia Under Putin," edited by Harley D. Balzer and Steven A. Fisher, was published in July 2025. Since that time, the premise that Putin has failed to fulfill most of the promises he has repeatedly made to the Russian people has been confirmed. Harley Balzer and Peter Clement will provide a summary of the volume and Balzer will provide an update on his chapter on Human Capital.
