The meeting between President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Kennebunkport comes at a critical moment in U.S.-Russian relations. After a promising start at the beginning of the Bush administration, U.S.- Russian relations are now at a post-Soviet low. The following experts on Russia will discuss what to expect from the Kennebunkport summit and the future of relations between Russia and the United States.

He has written several books and many articles on political developments in Russia. David Satter, a former Moscow correspondent, is a long time observer of Russia and the former Soviet Union. His book, (1996), is being made into a documentary film. Dr. Richard Weitz is Director of Program Management at Hudson.
