Join DACOR for a conversation with Jill Dougherty, expert on Russia and the region, on her new book My Russia: What I Saw Inside the Kremlin. Ambassador Stephen Sestanovich, George F. Kennan Senior Fellow for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Council on Foreign Relations and former Ambassador-at-Large for the former Soviet Union, will moderate.
As a high school freshman during the Cold War, Jill Dougherty developed an obsession with the Russian language - and Russia. It became her career, leading to nearly a decade in Moscow as CNN's bureau chief. In her new book, My Russia: What I Saw inside the Kremlin, she charts Russia's evolution, and her own evolution in understanding the country, its leaders, and its people.
Jill Dougherty served as CNN's Moscow Bureau Chief for almost a decade. Other postings include: White House correspondent; Foreign Affairs Correspondent covering the U.S. State Department; U.S. Affairs Editor; and Managing Editor CNN International, Asia-Pacific, based in Hong Kong.
She currently is a CNN on-air Contributor, commenting on Russia-related issues. She is an Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University’s Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies. She has pursued research on Russia and the media as a fellow at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government; at the Woodrow Wilson Center; and at the International Centre for Defence and Security in Tallinn, Estonia.
Her articles, book reviews and commentary have appeared in theatlantic.com; politico.com; wilsonquarterly.com; washingtonpost.com; cnn.com and other publications. She is the author of My Russia: What I Saw from the Kremlin, a book about her decades-long experiences in Russia and the region.
