Michael Kimmage speaks with Stephen Sestanovich of the Council on Foreign Relations about the long arc of U.S. policy toward Russia, the transformation of Eastern and Central Europe after the end of the Cold War, and the historical forces that contributed to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The conversation examines the hopes and tensions of the post-Cold War era, the emergence of authoritarian and imperial tendencies in Putin’s Russia, debates surrounding NATO expansion, and the broader trajectory of U.S.-Russia relations over the past three decades.
Stephen Sestanovich is a Senior Fellow for U.S. Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations, Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Professor of International Diplomacy at Columbia University, and former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for the former Soviet Union.
