Midrats: Riddles, mysteries, and enigmas

You don't have to be an old Cold Warrior to perk your ears up with one word: Russia.

She is never as strong or as weak as she seems. Partly European, partly Asian - but all Russian.

Join us tomorrow, Sunday 13 FEB from 5-6pm EST as Eagle One and I discuss Russia for the full hour with our guest, Dr. Dmitry Gorenburg, Senior Analyst at CNA, an Associate at Harvard's Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies and author of the book Minority Ethnic Mobilization in the Russian Federation.

You can follow his lastest thoughts on Russian Military Reform at his blog - but make sure and block out time to join us live as we cover where Russia stands in the 21st Century and how its domestic politics, demographics, the rise of China, and the evolution of its relationships in its near abroad will challenge this important nation.

If you can join us live, and pile in with the usual suspects in the chat room during the show where you can offer your own questions and observations to our guests. If you miss the show or want to catch up on the shows you missed - you can always reach the archives at blogtalkradio - or set yourself to get the podcast on iTunes.
