We are pleased to invite you to our Spring Lunch, AGM and topical talk “Russia after Putin: Reform, Revanchism or Revolution?” given by Sir Roderic Lyne KBE, CMG.

Sir Roderic Lyne was born in 1948. He studied History at Leeds University before joining the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in 1970.

His earlier career included postings to the Soviet Union, Senegal and the UK Mission to the United Nations in New York, as well as in the Soviet and Rhodesian departments of the Foreign Office and as Assistant Private Secretary to Foreign Secretary, Lord Carrington.

From 1986-87 he was a Visiting Research Fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House. In his later career, Sir Roderic was the foreign affairs adviser to the Prime Minister from 1993 to 1996; Ambassador to the international organisations in Geneva from 1997 to 2000, and ambassador to the Russian Federation from 2000 to 2004, coinciding with the first four years of Vladimir Putin’s first presidency.

Since his retirement from the FCO, Sir Roderic has continued his association with Chatham House, has held various advisory roles with major industrial and financial concerns, and given many talks about Russia.

We welcome Sir Roderic back to our counties after his insightful and stimulating talk to the Oxford Society in Hereford last year.
