Dear OSLIST,
Does anyone want to try opening up some dialogue channels between the people of Russia and the people of the West? It's way too late to affect the current situation in Ukraine, but dialogue could be helpful for the long term. I believe that if the people speak with each other directly and (eventually) on a large enough scale, then there is a strong chance for understanding to be built, less us-vs.-them thinking, and that would give political leaders flexibility to choose options other than war to solve big problems. It doesn't look like many are doing anything like this yet. With a quick Google search I could only find the Carnegie Moscow Center <https://carnegiemoscow.org/specialprojects/relaunchingusrussiadialogueonglobalchallenges/?lang=en> as an organization interested in a participatory US-Russia dialogue. Assuming there was an unlimited budget, how could a dialogue be designed? Is anyone interested in working on something like this? Lucas Cioffi
