MURFREESBORO — Prospects
for improved relations between the United States and Russia will be the topic
on the next “MTSU On the Record” radio program.
Host Gina Logue’s interview with Andrei Korobkov will air
from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Monday, July 27, and from 8 to 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 2, on
WMOT-FM (89.5 and www.wmot.org).
In an interview published June 5 in Russia Direct magazine,
Korobkov, a professor of political science, said, “As a pragmatist, (President)
Obama is much more beneficial for Russia than any other presidential candidate
of the current campaign. So, after the 2016 presidential campaign, changes are
highly likely to be negative of any new change in thinking about Russia.”
“But the irony is that right now there is a very widespread
irritation with American policies among various groups of the Russian
population,” said Korobkov in the radio interview.
Korobkov also sized up the current crop of Democratic and
Republican candidates as to their likelihood to establish good relations with
Russia should they be elected president.
