Virtual Event | Russian Political Stability: Assessing How the Kremlin’s War in Ukraine Is Affecting Putin’s Hold on Power

Watch:

One year into Putin’s war in Ukraine, Russia’s poor military’s performance, botched mobilization, mounting casualties, economic challenges resulting from the sanctions and export controls, and increasingly visible elite fissure are raising questions about political stability inside the country. To provide insight into these questions, CNAS hosted a virtual panel on Thursday, March 2 featuring leading experts on Putin’s Russia.

The event marks the launch of a new publication, The Russia Stability Tracker, which identifies those factors most critical to Putin’s stability, how those factors have changed in the aftermath of Putin’s invasion, and their impact on regime stability. The Russia Stability Tracker captures the assessments of leading experts on Putin’s Russia and authoritarianism. The group will regularly update their assessments of these factors, providing insight into how dynamics are changing.
