Leon Aron's Russia's Revolution

Just came back from a book signing at the American Enterprise Institute for Leon Aron's collection of essays, Russia's Revolution: Essays 1989-2006. Who should I see talking to Leon as I went to get my copy inscribed but Putin’s former economic guru and G8 "sherpa" Andrei Illarionov, talking (in Russian) to Leon. Of course with my bad Russian, I didn't understand a word they said--but did learn that Iliarionov now lives in Washington, DC--working for for the libertarian CATO institute as Senior Fellow, Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity. Sounds like we may be hearing more from Iliarionov in the future...
