RUSSIAN SCHOLAR NICOLAI PETRO

NEWPORT, R.I. - Nicolai N. Petro, a widely published expert on Russia, will lecture on "Vladimir Putin: The Once and Future King?" on Monday, March 3 at 6 p.m. at Salve Regina University's Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy.

Free and open to the public, Petro's lecture is being sponsored by Salve Regina's graduate program in international relations in collaboration with the Pell Center.

Petro, who is professor of politics at the University of Rhode Island, has published in The Wilson Quarterly, Comparative Strategy, Post-Soviet Affairs, World Development, The Fletcher Forum, and the Harvard International Review.

In addition, he authored and edited eight books, including "The Rebirth of Russian Democracy: An Interpretation of Political Culture," and Russian Foreign Policy: From Empire to Nation-State, co-authored with Alvin Z. Rubinstein.

Petro served as special assistant for policy in the Office of Soviet Union Affairs in the U.S. Department of State and as temporary political attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. While in the Soviet Union he monitored local elections in central Russia, Belarus, and Latvia.

In 2001-2002, he went back to Russia to serve as staff consultant to the municipal research and training center Dialog and advisor to the mayor of the Russian city of Novgorod the Great. He was invited last year to participate in the Valdia Discussion Club, an international gathering of Russian specialists who meet annually with that country's top political leadership.
