NEWS FROM THE INDIANA UNIVERSITY RUSSIAN AND EAST EUROPEAN INSTITUTE

David L. Ransel, Director Mark Betka, Editor Vol. 25, No. 3 October 2001

Cooperation After the terrorist attacks of September11, Russian President Vladimir Putin was one of the first world leaders to express condolences. In addition, many messages came to REEI and to me personally from Russian, Tatar, and Buriat friends and acquaintances, several of them former visiting scholars at REEI. Whether they were following the lead of their president or responding out of personal feelings of shock, these citizens of Russia were expressing their concern and sense of solidarity with Americans. As targets themselves of terrorist violence in recent years, Russians can understand and empathize Features with us and our newly experienced vulnerability. This vulnerability causes Russians to believe that we can now better understand and sympathize with Director’s Notebook 1 their situation. The Russians and we run the risk of equating the threats to our Gifts to the Tsars 3 countries; the histories and causes of the attacks on our societies are differ- ent. But one positive outcome of these ordeals may be greater cooperation Life Stories in Brasov 5 between our two peoples.
