Raisina Dialogue 2024 | The Russia Files | Against the backdrop of the impending second anniversary of its armed forces crossing the border, this panel will discuss how the conflict has implicated Russia’s people, politics, and economy. As Russia prepares for electioMns, the panel will seek to understand how the mood and morale of the Russian military, and wider population, have ebbed and flowed. How has the two-year conflict implicated the popularity of President Putin? What should we expect from this year’s elections? Are images of empty shelves myth or fact? Which are Russia’s closest partners, which does it lean on, and which does it trust? Has this conflict really brought it closer to the South, or is warm rhetoric just a convenience? Is this the end of any Russian ambition to integrate with Europe? Is Peter the Great’s project over, and should we think of Russia as an Asian country?
