On November 23, 2016, Johannes Bohnen spoke at a symposium of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS) in Moscow on the topic of Western vs. Russian values. For Russia, Dr. Bohnen said, the future lies in turning to the liberal open society of the West - while retaining traditional Russian values. Through the social and economic innovations promoted by that, Russia can become a strong player in the international order; even without considering the military. This would allow the relationship between Russia and the West to develop into a partnership of equals.
