PLUS... GREAT DECISIONS 2010
You can be part of Great Decisions 2010 and a lively discussion on the companion topic...
Russia and its Neighbors
Russia's policy of maintaining a "sphere of influence" in former Soviet satellites has been challenged in recent years by movements against pro-Russia regimes. Russia has pushed back by cutting Ukraine's natural gas supply and intervening in Georgia's campaign in South Ossetia. Will Russia regain its traditional leadership role in the region?
