Russian and Eurasian Studies Presents

Dispatches from Moscow and Beyond

When Carey Goldberg was growing up during the Cold War, US-Soviet relations loomed as critical for avoiding nuclear Armageddon. So she studied Russian and journalism in high school and college, and finagled a visa as a nanny to get to Moscow and start reporting. For more than six years she covered the former Soviet Union, its collapse and what came after, and was a Pulitzer finalist for group coverage of the 1991 coup. She then came home to work for The New York Times and went on to other jobs in journalism, but her time in Moscow remains her “glory days.” She will share some of her experiences and discuss the importance of Russian language skills for a successful career in international reporting.
