Переглядів 87,494
День томуDr Mark Galeotti is a leading expert on Russian history and security. He runs the influential and fascinating podcast and blog ‘In Moscow’s Shadows and is the Director of the consultancy firm Mayak Intelligence and also an Honorary Professor at UCL School of Slavonic & East European Studies and a Senior Associate Fellow at RUSI.
We wanted to hear from Galeotti himself about Russian society, politics and statecraft. Without further ado, here’s David Knowles' conversation.

Interesting points brought up by Dr. Galeotti. He seems clearly ahead of most when it comes to understanding Putin and his circle of elitists that were born from (and flourished during) the Soviet era. The only part that I disagree with, and I think I am mostly alone in this theory, is regarding Prigozhin. I don't think the whole Prigozhin ordeal was what it was portrayed to be, and I don't necessarily agree with speaking about him using the past tense.
