WOODROW WILSON CENTER SERIES

The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars was chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1968 as the living memorial to the nations twenty-eighth president. It serves as the countrys key nonpartisan policy forum, tackling global challenges through independent research and open dialogue. Bridging the worlds of academia and public policy, the Centers diverse programmatic activity informs actionable ideas for Congress, the administration, and the broader policy community.

The Woodrow Wilson Center Series shares in the Centers mission by publishing outstanding scholarly and public policy-related books for a global readership.

IF THE CHAINS covered by this book are long, even longer are the chains of gratitude that tie me to all those without whose help this book would not have been possible. These chains extend across several continents and many countries, from the dark night in Oslo in late 2013 when the idea for the book first appeared to me, to this day. This book started with a very strong hunch, a very pressing question, but no idea of how I would get there. If it had not been for the many talented and generous people who helped me along this journey, I might never have gotten there.

In 2013, during a presentation I did at the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP) in Berlin, Susan Stewarttoday head of the SWPs Eastern Europe and Eurasia Divisionasked a question that set the ball rolling in the back of my mind, to become an actual question during a long sleepless night in Oslo a few months later. I am forever thankful for that question and for the warm welcome of my colleagues at the division during my research visit in 2013, and especially to Sabine Fischer, then head of the division, for cultivating this unique discussion space.

The prehistory of this book is connected to two long research stays at the Aleksanteri Institute in Helsinki, where I finished two previous books and unconsciously prepared myself for this new challenge. I am deeply indebted to Anna Korhonen, Aleksanteris head of international affairs, for her inspiration and encouragement over many years, and for working with me through a major grant application related to an earlier version of this project. Although it was not funded, work on this application gave me the impetus, energy, and think-big ambition that nevertheless helped propel the project forward. Also at Aleksanteri, I am indebted to the Finnish Centre of Excellence on Choices of Russian Modernizationand, personally, to Pami Aalto, Markku Kivinen, and Sari Autio-Sarasmowho welcomed me as a member and cofinanced workshops in Moscow, Oslo, Cambridge (Massachusetts), and Delmenhorstwhere many of the ideas for this book were developed.

Two year-long fellowships allowing for dedicated, intensive work on the project gave it a strong start: a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington and an EURIAS Senior Fellowship at the Hanse Wissenschaftskolleg (HWK) in Delmenhorst, Germany. At the Wilson Center, I am especially indebted to Arlyn Charles, Lindsay Collins, Kimberly Conner, Robert Litwak, and Janet Spikes, and to the 201516 Class of Woodrow Wilson Fellows, who inspired me with their strong work ethic, intellectual curiosity, and commitment to finding actionable answers to contemporary policy challenges. A series on writing and its challenges co-organized with thenexecutive vice president Andrew Seele kept me motivated for the huge task ahead. At the Kennan Institute, I am indebted to director Matthew Rojansky and deputy director William Pomeranz for their ongoing support and their contribution to keeping work on the former Soviet Union vibrant and relevant despite changing political conditions.
