On 2 June ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº SSEES is hosting a public ‘knowledge exchange’ event to discuss recent developments in Russia and Ukraine from the sub-national perspective. 

Two panels of experts will speak about centre-regional relations, as well as journalistic practices, identities and issues of governance at the regional level. The event is intended to facilitate dialogue between academics and the non-academic community. Regional dynamics in Russian and Ukrainian political life tend to receive less attention than dynamics in Moscow and Kyiv and this event proposes a timely corrective to the privileging of representations from the centre.

This event is generously supported by  and the 

Panel 1: Changing cultures of regional governance in Russia: Politics, journalism, and public opinions: Nikolai Petrov (Moscow Carnegie Centre), Valentin Bianki (St Petersburg State University), Natasha Kuhrt (KCL) and Stephen Ennis (BBC Monitoring).

Panel 2: Politics, identities and journalism in the regions of Ukraine: Tatiana Zhurzhenko (IWM, Vienna), Marc Berenson (King’s College London), Michael Gentile (University of Helsinki) and Andrew Wilson (¹û¶³Ó°Ôº SSEES).

Attendance is free and open to all, but registration is required. Places will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
