Western Sanctions and the Fates of Russian Oligarchs (3/22/23)

Join us for a meeting of the New York-Russia Public Policy Series, co-hosted by the Harriman Institute at Columbia University and the New York University Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia.

After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Western countries imposed major sanctions on key members of the Russian business elite, although some Russian oligarchs have escaped these punishments. Did these sanctions work, and is targeting business elites an effective way of sanctioning a country? Our panel of political scientists, economists, and sociologists will discuss in what ways the sanctions have affected the wealthiest Russians, whether they have divided the Russian elite or brought it closer to Putin, how the oligarchs mitigate and evade the restrictions, and whether more individual sanctions against wealthy Russians could follow.
