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。
