The four articles in this issue of the RAD focus on 1) President Putin’s 2016 state-of-the-nation address, which neglected most of the major challenges facing the country; 2) Russia’s recent high risk foreign policy, which may actually pay off in the near-term; 3) the continued consolidation of the Putin administration's authoritarian rule; and 4) the sluggish Russian economy, which will most likely continue to limp along in 2017.
