You are invited to an evening conversation with Dr. Mary Habeck at the President Woodrow Wilson House Museum. Dr. Habeck, a leading scholar on military matters, will discuss the current situation in Russia, focusing on its implications for the U.S. and the world. Join us to learn how Russia's aggression is affecting current global affairs.

This event is the third in a series of conversations on military occupations. Woodrow Wilson House Advisory Council member, Ambassador Joel Danies will moderate the Q&A.
