SUMMARY:Book Talk with Mikhail Fishman — The Successor: Boris Nemtsov\, Vl
 adimir Putin\, and the Decline of Modern Russia
LOCATION:Encina Hall William J. Perry Conference Room\, 616 Jane Stanford 
 Way\, Stanford\, CA 94305
DESCRIPTION:When did Russia lose its chance of freedom? 1990: As a new ope
 nness sweeps Russia\, a talented young physicist\, Boris Nemtsov\, begins
  his career in politics. Charismatic\, confident\, liberal and vehemently
  opposed to corruption\, he swiftly rises to prominence. For the first ti
 me\, another future seems possible. 2015: Putin holds the country in the 
 grip of tyranny once more. Nemtsov\, now his fiercest and most unrelentin
 g opponent\, is assassinated on a Moscow bridge. This is the story of how
  a nation's dreams of democracy died. Drawing on buried archives and off-
 the-record interviews\, exiled journalist Mikhail Fishman gives a grippin
 g insider account of the tragedy of modern Russia\, told through many liv
 es of Boris Nemtsov — activist\, playboy\, leader-in-waiting\, dissident 
 and\, finally\, victim. From the economic reforms under Boris Yeltsin to 
 Vladimir Putin's oligarchy\, through two wars in Chechnya and the invasio
 n of Ukraine\, this is the story of a man fired by the belief that Russia
  could\, still\, have another future.\n\nSPEAKERS\n\nMikhail Fishman is o
