Dmitry Gorenburg: 我在CNA的20年职业生涯见证了俄罗斯研究领域的巨大变迁。最初,美俄关系相对缓和,研究重点在于合作与关系建设。我作为CNA早期唯一的俄罗斯问题专家,参与了诸多美俄海军之间的交流项目。然而,克里米亚事件后,地缘政治格局急剧变化,美俄关系骤然紧张,研究重点转向了俄罗斯的军事威胁和战略意图。这期间,我不仅拓展了研究方向,涵盖了俄罗斯军事、外交政策、民族政治等多个领域,也积极参与团队建设,培养年轻分析师。我撰写的博客文章和参与的项目,为CNA在俄罗斯研究领域赢得了声誉。2022年俄乌战争爆发后,研究重点进一步转向对俄军战术、动员、后勤等方面的深入分析,以及俄中、俄印等双边关系的研究。我个人也因研究工作而受到俄罗斯政府的制裁,这在某种程度上也体现了我们工作的价值和影响力。 John Stimson: 作为CNA的成员,我亲眼目睹了Dmitry Gorenburg及其团队在俄罗斯研究领域做出的杰出贡献。从最初的单兵作战到如今的成熟团队,Dmitry Gorenburg不仅在学术研究上取得了丰硕成果,更在团队建设和人才培养方面发挥了关键作用。他的研究工作不仅为美国政府提供了重要的战略情报,也深刻影响了公众对俄罗斯的认知。Dmitry Gorenburg的职业生涯,是俄罗斯研究领域发展变化的一个缩影,也是CNA在国家安全领域贡献的生动体现。
