difficult political period of very painful reforms in countries like poland, hungary and astona, latvia, lithuania, but that wasn't really available in russian politics because the transition in russia was about a post-imperial reckoning with russia's past rather than a growth of nationalism to help sustain the political leadership as it expected a lot from its society and i thought that that was not only historically correct, but really, intellectually honest of the authors and really helped us to understand the path and what russia faces going forward as well. because that nationalism is still not a force for supporting reform, it is a form for supporting putinism and liberalism. i have a couple of little quibbles in the interest of intellectual-- one quibble. while it's true to the united states constructed a cooperation mechanism with russia in partnership for peace in multiple efforts with resulted in the russia-nato founding act. and even though it's the case as the authors note that the door was always open for russian membership in nato, i think it's fair when you look back at the historic

she ran a courageous campaign but today is in exile in lithuania where she continues to rally the belarusian people and the world and demand that democracy and human rights for all people be given to her nation. a couple of weeks ago i read portions of a transcript of a hearing i chaired in 2011 after another fraudulent belarusian election put lukashenko back in power. then as now, lukashenko's bullies beat, jailed, assaulted, raped, tortured and killed peaceful protesters. now it is going on right as we meet here today as never before. the big mistake of the past, fatigue or lack of commitment and perseverance by the international community, can't be repeated this time. can't say the outrageous -- theout rage is first then turn the page and say no what. we need to have a determined effort to help these people struggling for human rights and democracy in their nation. on two separate occasions i met with lukashenko in minsk and help the esolved to struggle. i met with members of the committee. he pointed to me because i am the author of the belarus democracy act of 2004 and said there's publ
