Join Hudson Institute’s Kleptocracy Initiative on October 19 for a discussion of the threats posed by kleptocracy to states bordering the Russian Federation. The expansion of the Kremlin’s kleptocracy is now seriously undermining the integrity of Europe. Nowhere is this threat more salient than in the Baltics, Eastern Europe, and Ukraine, whose security is directly threatened by Russia's exported corruption, disinformation, and military aggression. Pushing back against Russia’s kleptocratic onslaught should be a major national security and foreign policy priority for the U.S. and its allies. Our October 19 discussion will examine the current state of affairs and suggest policies for containing this threat.
