COREY FLINTOFF has just wrapped up his tenure as NPR’s foreign correspondent in Moscow, where he’s spent the last several years reporting on all things Russia – from the annexation of Crimea, to the migrant crisis in eastern Europe, allegations of the Kremlin meddling in U.S. elections, Russian involvement in Syria, and more.
New England Public Radio, along with the Department of Russian at Amherst College and the Amherst Center for Russian Culture are proud to host him for an evening of conversation about contemporary Russian culture and journalism, the current status of the country, its foreign policy and what it’s like to report from inside.
Stanley Rabinowitz, director of the Center for Russian Culture will introduce the evening. Boris Wolfson, chair of Amherst College’s Russian Department will host the conversation, and of course, there will be plenty of time for your questions.
This event is free and open to the public. All are invited to join us for a reception at the Amherst Center for Russian Culture (202 Webster Hall) following the event.
