Hill worked in the research department at the John F. Kennedy School of Government from 1991 to 1999, and at the National Intelligence Council as a national intelligence analyst for Russia and Eurasia from 2006 to 2009. In 2017, she took a leave of absence from the Brookings Institution, where she was director for the Center on the United States and Europe, while serving on the National Security Council. Hill is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the board of trustees of the Eurasia Foundation.[3]
The striking connection is Hill’s stint with the Eurasia Foundation between 1999 and 2005. The Eurasia Foundation is a U.S. government supported NGO (receiving funding from U.S. AID) which was established under congressional auspices in 1992 by retired Congressman Bill Frenzel and cofounder Sarah Carey, an attorney. Its purpose was to foster “civil society,” political, and economic development in the former Soviet republics.
Other than the U.S. government, which has always supplied the lion’s share of the funding, a major sponsor is the Open Society Foundations. The timing of the Eurasia Foundation’s establishment coincided with George Soros’s initiation of similar institutional efforts in the Baltic Republics, and shortly thereafter in other nations of Eastern Europe.
Hill’s Brookings Institution biography gives her dates as a program director with the Eurasia Foundation as 1999-2000. However, her downloadable c.v. (link at left on the bio page) also indicates she served as an “Advisor to the President” of the Eurasia Foundation from October 2000 to December 2005. The foundation’s president throughout that period was Charles William Maynes, previously the editor of Foreign Policy magazine and a State Department appointee under Jimmy Carter.
During that period, Hill was also a member of the Central Eurasia Project Advisory Board of the Open Society Institute, with the dates given as 2000-2006.
