Anatol Lieven, Matthew Evangelista
There's been a lot in the media about the horrifying details of last week's school siege in southern Russia, but there’s been less talk about its origins, just who these attackers were, and why they would carry out something so horrific. Here to tell more about this complex situation is Anatol Lieven, a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; he also covered Chechnya for the London Times from 1992 to 1996. Also here is Matthew Evangelista, professor of government at Cornell University and author of The Chechen Wars, published by the Brookings Institution.
