SUMMARY:Book Talk: The Tragedy of Russian Liberalism
DESCRIPTION:\nThe failure of Russian liberalism to achieve political hegemo
 ny in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union marked a crucial disappoin
 tment for Western hopes and ambitions concerning Russia’s future and ope
 ned the way for President Vladimir Putin’s very different approach to ru
 le. To discuss the historical and contemporary roots of liberalism’s fai
 lure\, Anatol Lieven of the Quincy Institute was joined by Professor Paul 
 Robinson\, leading expert on Russia and author of a foundational study of 
 Russian liberalism. Dr. Robinson’s book Russian Liberalism charts the de
 velopment of liberal ideas and political organizations in Russia from the 
 late eighteenth century to the present day. It demonstrates that liberalis
 m has always lacked strong roots in the Russian population\, being largely
  espoused by a narrow group of intellectuals whose culture it has reflecte
 d\, and has tended toward a form of historical determinism that sees Russi
 a as inevitably destined to become like the West\, and that has often fail
 ed to take account of Russian realities\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/BuLG2gBh
