Ex-Soviet Advisor Will Speak at College

A former Kremlin advisor will speak about the dramatic ongoing transformation of the former Soviet Union next month at Golden West College.

Andrei Safirov, a researcher on international politics and Russian-American relations, will share his insights about the changes in his country.

Currently on sabbatical from the Russian Academy of Sciences, Safirov advised former Kremlin leaders on President Richard Nixon’s 1972 visit to the Soviet Union. He also assisted the Soviet government by providing insights on the United States and contributed to Cold War strategy.

The talk will take place from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 17 at the college’s high-tech Forum 1, 15744 Golden West St. Admission and parking are free.
