Speaker(s): Professor Catherine Merridale | The extraordinary story of one of the most significant, mysterious and emblematic buildings in Russian history – the Kremlin. Part citadel, part holy shrine, the Kremlin has been Russia’s heart for centuries, a metaphor for the eternal state. Catherine Merridale explores its story and the secret world behind the myths. As she discovers, the Kremlin still stars in official fables about government in Russia, and though the stories are romantic - even seductive - we will only understand the true nature of politics when we see them for what they are. Catherine Merridale is the author of Night of Stone: Death and Memory in Russia, which won the Heinemann Prize for Literature and was shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize, as well as Moscow Politics and the Rise of Stalin and Ivan’s War: The Red Army, 1939-1945.  Her latest book is Red Fortress: The Secret Heart of Russia’s History. Wed, 9 Oct 2013 18:30:00 GMT

Speaker(s): Christopher Schroeder | The west has one narrative around the Middle East based on political instability and sectarian unrest.  In parallel, and little understood, a new generation has come of age in the region, as around the globe, never knowing a world without technology.  While these tools of connection, collaboration and innovation have changed the political dynamics on the ground, a second revolution is happening in parallel.   Young entrepreneurs are starting companies by the thousands, creating solutions to local and regional problems, and building world-class competitive products and services.  They are, in fact, taking control of their economic futures from the bottom up.  Schroeder will share the stories of some of these startups, and describe the broader ecosystem challenges and opportunities changing in the Middle East.  And he will show that as we move to a world -- within a decade -- of five billion people accessing broadband, the Middle East is a lens into a massive shift we should all be engaging in now.
