    The CSIS Russia and Eurasia Program invites you to a panel on the Russian presidential elections. Given President Putin’s endorsement of Dmitri Medvedev as his candidate of choice, the outcome of the “election” already seems certain. However, many questions remain over the implications of a Medvedev presidency and the future role of Vladimir Putin. Åslund, Kuchins, and Mendelson will offer their insights into the presidential succession and its consequences for U.S.-Russia relations.
