RUSSIAN UNITED NATIONS POLITICAL AFFAIRS OFFICER
TO SPEAK AT KATONAH LIBRARY

The Katonah Village Library and the Katonah Great Decisions Chapter are pleased to co-sponsor an evening foreign policy forum with Aleksandr Illitchev, Senior Officer: Department of Political Affairs-UN Secretariat, on Wednesday, April 23, from 7:30 to 9:15 p.m.

With its booming, energy-fueled economy and new assertiveness on the global stage, Russia has made more than its share of headlines of late. Mr. Illitchev will offer a personal perspective on the “New Russia” and its implications and share his views on a wide range of challenging issues affecting Moscow, Washington, and other global powers. A question and answer session will follow his presentation.

The forum, open to the public, will be held in the Garden Room, on the lower level, at the library.

A $10 contribution for the Katonah Village Library is suggested ($15 with companion).
