SIPRI and the Primakov National Research Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO) hosted a conference in Moscow to commemorate 25 years of translation of the SIPRI Yearbook into Russian. The Russian edition of SIPRI Yearbook 2017 was presented at the event.
Discussions at the conference focused on nuclear arms control and non-proliferation, European security and conventional arms control in Europe, and the impact of emerging technologies on arms control.
The conference was opened by Dr Alexey G. Arbatov, Head of the Center for International Security at IMEMO. Several senior figures from IMEMO presented at the event, alongside Dan Smith, SIPRI Director, Dr Sibylle Bauer, Director of the SIPRI Disarmament, Arms Control and Non-Proliferation Programme and Dr Petr Topychkanov, Senior Researcher in the same programme at SIPRI.
