This is a round table symposium organized jointly by CDDRL and CREEES. Participants will include visitors from Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus and CDDRL's own Steve LeVine and Gail Lapidus.

Ryan Podolsky, CREEES MA Candidate, has recently returned from Kyrgyzstan and was a first hand observer of the dramatic events in March 2005 in Kyrgyzstan. Podolsky will speak on his impressions of the Kyrgyz "revolution."

This event is jointly sponsored by CDDRL and the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies.
