European University at St. Petersburg (EUSP) invites international students, young professionals, and expats in St. Petersburg to join a new series of open lectures in English on Russia’s Past and Present. We meet every Wednesday at 18.30.
March 18, 2020 – Russia and Iran in the Current World Order
Russian-Iranian relations have significantly improved and progressed in the past several years. The two countries have identified a number of matters of common interest in Eurasian and Middle Eastern regional developments.
Where possible, Moscow and Tehran have attempted to avoid confrontation. The relations between Iran and Russia are sometimes described as a strategic partnership or even alliance. This lecture will present the current state and try to evaluate the prospects of Russian-Iranian affairs within the regional and global context.
