The Great Game. 05.09.2018

Primary focus is on —declassified correspondence and telephone conversations of the leaders of the two main participants of the Great Game. What did Boris Yeltsin ask Washington for? What goals did Bill Clinton pursue in the game against the new Russia? Was it the naive belief that the confrontation was over forever, or the careful calculation — to create a unipolar world with the absolute US hegemony? Vyacheslav Nikonov and Dmitriy Simes, as well as the direct participants of those events, will discuss these issues in the Studio of the Great Game.
