Russia in the Triple Storm: Constitutional Reforms, Economic Crisis, Pandemic Management
Practical information
A "Les Jeudis de l'Ifri" videoconference around Tatiana KASTUEVA-JEAN, Director of Ifri's Russia / NIS Center.
Since the beginning of 2020, several factors have tested the strength of the Putin system. The falling oil prices leads to the devaluation of the ruble and to a drop in the population's purchasing power. The turn of constitutional reforms was a surprise not only to the population, but also to the vast majority of elites. The COVID-19 pandemic's management is currently uncertain. Could this triple storm weaken the foundations of power in Russia?
This debate is for corporate members only. It will be conducted in French.

Europe in turbulence: navigating a new world order without the United States?
The foundations of the post-1945 international order, long anchored by U.S. leadership, are shifting. Amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry, democratic backsliding, and strategic fatigue in Washington, the question arises: what if the United States no longer plays its pivotal role in international security? Simultaneously, the Global South is asserting new political and economic agency, complicating the old binaries of West vs. Rest. For Europe, this landscape is both a challenge and an inflection point.

The policy orientations of the Trump II administration profoundly challenge the foundations of international cooperation in space science and exploration. This shift reflects a broader trend of strategic disengagement and weakening of multilateral mechanisms in the space domain.
