Intelligence at War: The Changing Role of Russian Security Services 

This event is online only.
Join us for a meeting of the New York-Russia Public Policy Series, co-hosted by the Harriman Institute at Columbia University and the New York University Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia.
This roundtable discussion will examine the functioning of Russian security services in the wake of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and their involvement in shaping and executing the Kremlin's foreign policy. How have the Russian security agencies changed since the invasion of Ukraine? Have they ratcheted up their activities abroad, including attacks on Russian exiles and opposition figures? How does political pressure affect the work of the GRU, FSB, and other agencies? What does the recent failure of the security apparatus to prevent a major terrorist attack in Moscow tell us about the effectiveness of these agencies and their operation after the invasion of Ukraine? Our panel will discuss these questions and the wider role of security agencies in the evolution of Putin's regime.
