Legacies of a Lost Empire: Unresolved Territorial and Identity Problems in the Post-Soviet Era
More than twenty years after the collapse of the USSR, a number of frozen conflicts dating from the collapse persist to this day.

Pilar Bonet, Chief Correspondent, Moscow, El Pais, former Title VIII-supported Research Scholar and Wilson Center Public Policy Scholar has covered many of these conflicts, and will concentrate her discussion on the cases of Transnistria, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia.
