The Kennan Institute, History and Public Policy Program, and the National History Center hosted a panel session marking the centenary of one of the 20th century’s most important diplomats, Anatoly Dobrynin.
Anatoly Dobrynin served as Soviet ambassador to the United States for over two decades, from 1962 to 1986. His tenure coincided with five Soviet leaders and six U.S. presidents, and included such pivotal moments as the Cuban Missile Crisis, the U.S. war in Vietnam and Soviet war in Afghanistan, and the Soviet Union’s downing of Korean Airlines Flight 007. His steady diplomatic presence during his service in Washington provided a crucial element of stability during some of the most tense episodes of the Cold War.
