Blair Ruble is the Director of the Kennan Institute, covering Russia and the surrounding states, at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International scholars. He is also the Chair of the Comparative Urban Studies Project. “Ideology is a lens through which we all act; I don’t think there is any doubt about that.
