Updates from Sean's Russia Blog
The SRB Podcast started off the year with two must-listen-interviews. The first is with Fyodor Lukyanov, the editor of Russia in Global Affairs (The Russian equivalent to the Foreign Affairs in the US), on the thinking of the foreign policy establishment in Russia. If you want to know how Russian foreign policy experts see the world, you can’t find a better articulation. The second interview is with Edward Geist, a researcher at the Rand Corporation, is part the fourth event in REEES Series “Nuclear Fallout: Science and Society in Eurasia.” In it, Geist discusses how the United States and Soviet Union planned to survive nuclear war. If you ever had any questions about bomb shelters, this will have all the answers.

Application Deadline Extended:  ASEEES Internship Grant Program

Thanks to the generous support of the US-Russia Foundation, ASEEES is pleased to announce the new Internship Grant Program: www.aseees.org/programs/aseees-internship-grant-program

This program provides MA, PhD, and professional school students and recent graduates with grants that make it possible for them to accept unpaid or underpaid internships in areas directly related to Russian studies. The program promotes the entry of young scholars with considerable Russian studies expertise into sectors outside of traditional academia. These internships must be in the US and should be substantial in duration and responsibilities, lasting two months for summer internships and four months for internships during a semester in the regular academic year. The grant offers $2,000 a month, to be paid directly to the grantee during their internship. ASEEES is also working to secure funding for a similar program to support internships related to non-Russian aspects of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian studies.

Extended Deadline: February 17
