Russia on tap for Politics at the Pub

That’s cheers in Russian, which could come in handy as Dr. Steve Connor moderates Politics at the Pub: Russia and the World in Historical and Contemporary Perspective, on June 18 from 7 – 8:30 p.m. at Cecil’s Eatery and Beer Society. Presented by the Nipissing Branch of the Canadian International Council (CIC), the discussion will draw on Dr. Connor’s knowledge of world history and events, to talk about contemporary events in Russia, the Ukraine and Crimea.

This event is free to CIC members. Otherwise, the cost is $15, or $5 for students.

Seating is limited, so please register here.
