Paul Robinson is a professor in the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, at the University of Ottawa. He is the author of Russian Conservatism and Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich.

We spoke to Paul about what defines liberalism in the Russian context, why liberalism has historically failed to take root in Russia, and the impact the War in Ukraine may have on Russia’s potential political trajectory.
