[dropcap]S[/dropcap]tephen Cohen is a professor of Russian Studies and History at New York University, one of the nation’s foremost experts on Russian-American relations and the author of nine books on Russian history, including his latest, “Soviet Fates and Lost Alternatives: From Stalinism to the New Cold War.” He’s also a contributor to The Nation Magazine, and with his wife, The Nation editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel, recently traveled to Russia to personally interview American dissident Edward Snowden.

Cohen has been a vocal critic of US/NATO policy over the Ukraine crisis, as well as US media’s depiction of Putin as the aggressor and Ukraine the victim. What is the true standing of Russia as an international power? Do you agree with Professor Cohen on the Russian-Ukranian conflict? and Russia’s popular image? Is he indeed a “Putin apologist” as his critics have said?
