Institute of Arctic Studies Webinar: The Future of Russia in the Arctic

In early March 2022, the Arctic Council called for a "pause" in all engagement with the Russian Federation due to their egregious and unprovoked aggressions in Ukraine. What does this "pause" mean for the future of Arctic collaboration, diplomacy, and security? And, given the importance of Arctic Indigenous Peoples to the workings of the Arctic Council and Arctic cooperation, what might we learn from Arctic Indigenous leaders who have worked and lived in Russia?
