A Russia expert on Obama’s National Security Council who then served as ambassador to Russia, McFaul will speak Monday, October 29, as part of the Sonoma Speaker Series.

McFaul is the author of “From Cold War to Hot Peace: An American Ambassador in Putin’s Russia.”As an outspoken analyst and commentator, he’s now “a target of Putin’s intimidation” for calling out Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The 7 p.m. interview will be conducted by Laura Zimmerman. 7 p.m. VIP reception 5:30 p.m. $35-$75. Hanna Boys Center, 17000 Arnold Dr. Sonomaspeakerseries.com.
