Ambassador Jack Matlock, on “Managing the Crises in Ukraine and Elsewhere: Lessons for Leadership”
Ambassador Matlock earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees at Duke and Columbia Universities. After three years teaching Russian language and literature, Matlock joined the United States Foreign Service, where he would spend the majority of his working life. Ambassador Matlock’s Foreign Service career includes assignments in Vienna, Oberammergau, Moscow, Accra, Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam. He also was Director of the Office of Soviet Affairs in Washington DC, and Deputy Chief Minister and Minister-Counselor in Moscow, and has also served as diplomat in residence at Vanderbilt University and Deputy Director at the Foreign Service Institute.
In 1981, President Reagan appointed Matlock to be US Ambassador to Czechoslovakia, where he served as ambassador through to July 1983. He returned to the United States and served as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director of European and Soviet Affairs at the National Security Council. In December 1986, Matlock became US Ambassador to the Soviet Union. In 1991, he witnessed the historic dissolution of the United Soviet Socialist Republic. Matlock is most noted for his time in Russia. For nearly one-third of his distinguished 35-year career with the American Foreign Service, he served as a United States representative in the Soviet Union.
After his retirement from the State Department, Ambassador Matlock returned to teaching. As a professor, he has written numerous articles and books on Russian literature and history and United States-Russian relations, including Autopsy on an Empire: The American Ambassador’s Account of the Collapse of the Soviet Union (1995) and Reagan and Gorbachev: How the Cold War Ended (2004).
