   International Conference


   40 Years after Andrei Sakharov's Reflections on Progress, 
   Peaceful Coexistence and Intellectual Freedom:

   Russia Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

   Friday, October 24 - Saturday, October 25, 2008

   Andrei  Sakharov always called for constructive dialogue, cooperation,
   and  convergence  between  Russia  and  the  West.  Despite the recent
   conflicts  in  Russia-West  relations,  the  factors  promoting better
   relations  outweigh  the  negatives.  Russia  is  a  source  for  oil,
   minerals,  timber  and  commodities  needed by the West and developing
   nations.  Russia  needs  the  West  as  a  customer and as a source of
   technology and consumer goods. Putin and Medvedev both speak of Russia
   as  a  European  country,  and  Russia  is  a member of the Council of
   Europe,   OSCE,   the   G8,   and  other  multilateral  and  bilateral
   institutions.

   The  Conference's  six panels will discuss reactions to the Sakharov's
   essays  Reflections on Progress, Peaceful Coexistence and Intellectual
   Freedom  (1968),  The  Inevitability  of  Perestroika  (1988), and the
   continued  relevance  of  his humanist vision;  they will also address
   the  nuclear  issues  he  was  concerned with, and improving relations
   between Russia and the West.

   Made  possible by the Andrei Sakharov Foundation, this conference is a
   step   to  encourage  and  initiate  constructive  dialogue  when  the
   administrations of both countries are in the process of change.
