Talk: Moscow in Transition 1992–1997

The Great Britain-Russia Society invites to join the talk with Robert Stephenson – a photographer and the author of We Are Building Capitalism! Moscow in transition 1992–1997 (2019). A former UK senior civil servant educated at the University of Warwick, he served in Moscow for five years in the 1990s and retired in 2012 after heading the National School of Government International, which supports civil service reform around the world.

Few cities have undergone transitions as enormous as that endured by Moscow in the wake of the Soviet collapse. Robert Stephenson takes us on an illustrated tour of the Russian capital’s transformation with his photographs of a remarkable city in an extraordinary historical moment.

The talk will be in English.
