The Russian Economy: An Impossible Reform? By personal and non-transferable invitation

After several years of recession, resulting from a combination of falling oil prices, economic sanctions and its own structural weaknesses, the Russian economy seems to have returned to growth. But reforming the economy will be a major challenge during Vladimir Putin's next term of office. Will he have the necessary resources to continue to finance his power politics? Can he undertake reforms without jeopardising the regime's security? What are the prospects for the development of economic relations with China and the European Union?
