Lilija Fjodorovna Schewzowa ( Russian Лилия Фёдоровна Шевцова , born October 7, 1951 in Lemberg , Ukrainian SSR ) is a Russian political scientist, journalist and author who became known in her homeland for her political analyzes after the political change.

Life

Shevtsova studied history and journalism at the Moscow State Institute for International Relations , where she completed her bachelor's degree and, in 1971, her master's degree . 1976 doctorate it in political science at the Academy of Social Sciences of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union .

Subsequently, Shevtsova was director of the Moscow Center for Political Studies and deputy director of the Moscow Institute for International Economic and Political Studies . In 1993 she was a professor at the University of California, Berkeley , and the following year at Cornell University in Ithaca , New York State , in the USA .

From 1995–2014 she worked at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace at its headquarters in Washington, DC , and in Moscow . In Moscow she headed the program for Russian domestic policy and political institutions .

Since 2014 she has been working as a "non-resident senior fellow" at the Brookings Institution in Washington at the Center on the United States and Europe (CUSE).

Shevtsova's main field of work at Carnegie was the post-communist transformation and democratization processes, Russia's domestic and foreign policy, relations between Western and Eastern Europe, political developments in the successor states of the Soviet Union , the Caucasus region and Kosovo . She is a regular contributor to the bimonthly journal Foreign Policy .

In April 2015, she drew a picture of Russia as an unstoppable bobsled on a bobsleigh track, calling Putin hostage of that bobsled. Instead of focusing so much on it, the West should try to contain the fundamentals of Russian financial flows, which are mainly in Europe.

At the end of September 2015, Russia had become a leper of the international community for Shevtsova. Putin did manage to station planes during the Syrian civil war to meet the world's elite on his terms at the UN General Assembly . At the same time, however, the image of an unpredictable, irresponsible and desperate adventurer deepened.
