IERES • THE INSTITUTE FOR EUROPEAN, RUSSIAN AND EURASIAN STUDIES
Trade in Your Rights:
Russia's Circuitous March to Democracy
Part of IERES’ Behind the Headlines Series
with
Pavel Khodorkovsky
Co-Founder, Enertiv
President, Institute of Modern Russia
Pavel Khodorkovsky will discuss the current human rights situation in Russia and the importance of
supporting the emerging civil society there. Although he cannot return to Russia for fear of endangering
his father, famed political prisoner, businessman, and author Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Pavel maintains
close relationships with many Russian opposition leaders and will relate his thoughts on the current
political and socio-economic situation - and how the U.S. presidential election will affect policy toward
Russia. He will also elaborate on what Americans can do to help support Russia on its journey to
modernization and democracy.
Pavel Khodorkovsky is a co-founder of Enertiv, an electricity monitoring company based in New York
City. He also serves as the president of the Institute of Modern Russia, a non-profit organization he
founded to continue the work his father, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, began through the Open Russia
Foundation. The Institute of Modern Russia seeks to promote the development of civil society in Russia
by reinforcing the rule of law and strengthening relationships between Russia and other countries.
