HOW CAN RUSSIA NOT TURN INTO PORTHOS IN TIMES OF THE CRISIS OF THE NPT REGIME? ARTICLE BY DR. VLADIMIR ORLOV AND SERGEY SEMENOV ON THE RISKS OF EXPANDING THE «NUCLEAR CLUB» IN «RUSSIA IN GLOBAL AFFAIRS» JOURNAL

January 31, 2023

In January 2023, «Russia in Global Affairs» Journal published the article «The Post-American World and Nuclear Nonproliferation. 20 years with no room for error», written by MGIMO Professor, PIR Center Founder and Director Dr. Vladimir Orlov, and Research Fellow of Nuclear Nonproliferation and Russia Program Sergey Semenov.
