Description
This presentation explores Russia’s evolving international development assistance apparatus. Russia has a long history of providing foreign aid in its incarnation as the Soviet Union, but the post-1991 period of ‘transition’ seems to function for many observers as a period of selective erasure and re-writing, producing either incredulity that Russia is a donor at all, or suspicion that whatever Russia is up to in this arena, it must be not good.
