Dmitri Trenin Appointed Director of the Carnegie Moscow Center

On December 22, 2008, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace announced that Dmitri Trenin, previously deputy director, has been appointed director of the Carnegie Moscow Center. Trenin will be the first Russian director of the Carnegie Moscow Center. Sam Greene, formerly Center’s East-East program officer, has been appointed deputy director for operations.
According to Jessica T. Mathews, president of the Endowment, “in the years ahead Dmitri will broaden our agenda beyond the still crucially important work on U.S.–Russia relations to look at areas of common interest between Russia and the other regions in which Carnegie is now located.”
Dmitri Trenin said: “Carnegie’s New Vision — pioneering the first global think tank — challenges us to take a big step forward, and think globally. Within an expanded Carnegie family, the Moscow center will also work to connect important voices from Russia, the new Eastern Europe and the Baltics, the Caucasus and Central Asia, to the rest of the world; and to bring expert views from around the world to Russia. ...For three years Rose Gottemoeller took the Moscow Center to new heights, she will be an exceedingly hard act to follow, but Sam and I will try as best we can.”
Rose Gottemoeller, who served as the director of the Moscow Center from January 2006–December 2008, will return to the Endowment’s Washington office as a senior associate to continue work on U.S.–Russian relations and nuclear security and stability.
