"Impressions from the 2011 Valdai International Discussion Club Conference"
The Valdai Discussion Club provides a global forum for the world's leading and best-informed experts on Russia to engage in a sustained dialogue about the country's political, economic, social and cultural development. Since 2004, the Club has gathered annually in Russia and has regularly met with the leadership of the Russian Federation, as well as Russian business leaders, media, academics, and political groups.
