Exiting Communism’s Enduring Effect on Russian Public Opinion

The RCGA International and Global Colloquium series presents William Pyle,
Frederick C. Dirks Professor of International Economics, and the lecture, “ Exiting Communism’s Enduring Effect on Russian Public Opinion.”

One cannot fully understand the country that Russia is today without appreciating the enduring effect of its dramatic exit from communism thirty years ago. The shocks of transitioning from one economic system to another and witnessing the Soviet empire’s collapse left a deep and enduring impression on Russians’ worldview. Public opinion surveys and election data highlight how this history has had lasting and often differential effects on individuals and entire regions.

Sponsored by the Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs, the International and Global Colloquium offers students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to learn about global and international research activities. Speakers include Middlebury College faculty and alumni, as well as other scholars and professionals in the global arena.
