Mark Galeotti: Russia's Hybrid War: What Does it Really Mean, And How Should the West Respond?

This is a recording of an event organized by the Institute of International Relations on 10.1.2017 that took place at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The challenge of Russia’s ‘hybrid war’ remains one of the main concerns of Western policy-makers, yet quite what does this mean, and how can it best be resisted? Dr Mark Galeotti, a senior researcher at the Institute of International Relations Prague and one of the world’s leading experts on Russian security has recently completed two major analyses of the issue, his comprehensive report Hybrid War or Gibridnaya Voina? Getting Russia’s non-linear military challenge right (Mayak) and Heavy Metal Diplomacy: Russia’s political use of its military in Europe since 2014 (European Council on Foreign Relations).
Dr. Mark Galeotti is a researcher in the Institute of International Relations and an internationally recognized expert on Russia. Besides his considerable academic career, which included lecturing at several eminent universities of the world, he was an adviser of the British Foreign Ministry, and he is the author of a number of specialized publications. The main topics of his interest are Russian domestic and foreign politics, Russian and Soviet history, international and organized crime, intelligence operations and both military and non-military security questions.

FYI folks, clean up the audio. And the incessant typing is annoying as hell. Topic and contents are great, though.

Mr Tallis had not switched off his microphone so all his typing appeared on this otherwise great lecture.

I found the equalizer program on my computer to tune down the typing and reverb. This is an excellent lecture.

Typing a real pain in the ... Does he not realise or does he not care? Very unprofessional!
