In the speech and in the book No Place for Russia, William Hill analyzed the development of European security structures after the Cold War in order to explain current tensions and show how attempts to integrate Russia into a single Euro-Atlantic security system only led to NATO and EU domination and rivalry with Russia.

The discussion was attended by experts on European security issues, on relations between Russia and the EU, Russia and NATO, Russia and the U.S. from IMEMO RAS, MGIMO, Lomonosov Moscow State University, and other.

The roundtable discussion was moderated by Natalia Vyakhireva, RIAC Program Manager. RIAC experts and Timur Makhmutov, RIAC Deputy Director of Programs, took part in the discussion.
