| Summary/Abstract |
Donald Trump wanted his July
2018 meeting in Helsinki with
his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to evoke memories ofthe
momentous encounters that took place in
the 1980s between U.S. President Ronald
Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev. Those arms control summits
had yielded the kind oficonic imagery
that Trump loved: strong, serious men
meeting in distant places to hash out the
great issues ofthe day.

| Summary/Abstract |
Vladimir Putin, the person and the president, is the wild card in Russian politics. After what could be a quarter of a century in power by 2024 (either as president or prime minister), Putin's departure could prove utterly destabilizing. Russia's principal political problem is determining who or what replaces Putin as the fulcrum of the state system in the decade ahead. This essay considers the question of whether “Putin's Russia” – a hyperpersonalized presidency supported by informal elite networks – can transform into a depersonalized system that is rooted in formal institutions with clear, predictable mechanisms to mitigate the risks of a wrenching presidential succession.

| Summary/Abstract |
AT LAST fall's Valdai Discussion Club, the annual Moscow session where Russian leaders meet with Western journalists and academics, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin made clear he would issue no apologies for his recent maneuver to reclaim the Russian presidency from his protégé, Dmitri Medvedev, and dominate his country's politics for perhaps the next dozen years. Responding to one question, he declared, "I do not need to prove anything to anyone."
