To Associates of the Davis Center:

We have some sad news to report.  The former Prime Minister of Russia Yegor Gaidar died on Wednesday, December 16.  He was a good man and played an important role in the transition of Russia to a more democratic society.

Gaidar's death has also led Boris Nemtsov to postpone his visit to Cambridge.  As a result, Nemtsov will not be able to speak at the Davis Center on Thursday, December 17, and there will be no lunch in his honor.

Sincerely,
Marshall Goldman
