the first panel, Professor Sapir will examine how mutual interest
between Russia and the West gave way to lasting misunderstanding. A
long-time critic of what he calls the West’s “autistic” reading of
Russia, <strong>Sapir argues that European and American policymakers have misjudged the country’s economic resilience and strategic logic.</strong>
He contends that sanctions and isolation have produced
counterproductive “boomerang effects,” strengthening Russia’s autonomy
while straining Western economies.<br>
<br>
<strong>Drawing on decades of research, Sapir will offer a nuanced,
data-driven perspective on how the current impasse emerged—and whether a
path to renewed dialogue remains possible. The presentation will be
followed by a discussion.</strong></span></p>
