Super intriguing episode…
0lga Lautman is an expert on Russia, Ukraine and Eastern Europe.
In her investigations she has documented the long-standing relationship between Trump and Putin & his oligarchs and in this episode gives us further information on Putin’s objectives and tactics that he has been using for years in the States and the EU.
We also touch on the Navalny affair and life in Russia today, which underpins the state of malaise and protests across the country: Covid, an economic downturn and stagnation are the triggers for sustained demonstrations.
What does this mean for the West and what should we be doing?
My heartfelt thanks to Olga for coming on the pod- I’d been eager to learn about what was ‘hiding in plain sight.’
