On Monday, Nov. 13, at 10:30 a.m., Yegor Gaidar, President of the Institute of the Economy in Transition, will lecture on The Collapse of the Soviet Union: Lessons for Contemporary Russia. Gaidar was "acting prime minister during the first government of President Boris Yeltsin and the architect of the free-market revolution in post-Soviet Russia."

Then, starting at Noon, will be a luncheon at which Judge Stephen F. Williams of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit will talk on his new book Liberal Reform in an Illiberal Regime, 1906–1915: The Creation of Private Property in Russia (Hoover Institution Press, 2006). Yegor Gaidar will be a discussant.

Separate registrations are required for the Gaidar lecture and the Williams lunch.

I was careful to reserve a place at both events before posting this. Gaidar is one of the great figures of the second Russion Revolution, and Judge Williams is one of the most respected law & econ (and history) scholars on the Federal bench.
