A Raymond Aron Lecture featuring Anna Colin Lebedev with Ambassador John Tefft
On June 5, the Center on the United States and Europe at Brookings will host Anna Colin Lebedev for the 21st annual Raymond Aron Lecture. In her remarks, Colin Lebedev will examine how more than 12 years of war—and four since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine—have changed both countries’ societies and their relationship.
Following the address, Ambassador John Tefft, the distinguished chair in diplomacy and security at RAND and a career U.S. Foreign Service officer who served as ambassador in both Ukraine and Russia, will join Colin Lebedev for a discussion moderated by Fiona Hill, senior fellow in the Center on the United States and Europe at Brookings. Suzanne Maloney, vice president and director of Foreign Policy at Brookings, and Agnès von der Mühll, the French deputy chief of mission to the United States, will provide welcoming remarks.
