Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Jill Dougherty, Russia expert, former CNN Moscow Bureau Chief, and adjunct professor at Georgetown University’s Center for Eurasian, Russian, and East European Studies discusses “My Russia: What I Saw in the Kremlin.”



At the height of the Cold War, Dougherty and her twin sister began studying the Russian language. It launched her on a journalistic career that would span half a century, reporting on Russia for CNN from the White House, the U.S. State Department and Moscow. In her new book, "My Russia: What I Saw in the Kremlin," Dougherty recounts her experiences in Russia, her reporting on Russia’s leaders, and her encounters with Vladimir Putin. During the luncheon, she presented her book and predictions for where Russia is headed.



The presentation is part of The University of Scranton 2025 Schemel Forum spring semester World Affairs Luncheon Seminars.
