At the same time, all of the former Soviet republics have forged new identities which they are continuing to foster. On November 23, 2011, at a special event marking the 20th anniversary of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the former Directors of ISEES, CERAS, and EURUS reflected on their impressions of the collapse, its impact on the region, and how it has shaped their own research as well as transformed the Institute, from Soviet and East European Studies to European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies. The event featured a panel discussion with Carter Elwood, Carl McMillan, Joan DeBardeleben, Piotr Dutkiewicz, Andrea Chandler, and Jeff Sahadeo. It was followed by a question period and reception that was attended by faculty, students, alumni, and members of the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large wp-image-2189\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/186\/USSR2-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2189\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twenty years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, its legacies still have a far-reaching impact on Europe, Russia, and Eurasia.
