Putin's Russia: Down But Not Out, Part 1
Update: 2016-04-18
Description
Over the past decade and a half, Vladimir Putin’s Russia has
been an economic dynamo and a basket case, an imperfect democracy and a tightening
tyranny, a constructive diplomatic actor and a serial military
aggressor—sometimes all at once. The only constant has been surprise, as the
zigging and zagging has left outside observers, and even many Russians,
scratching their heads.
Today on the podcast, we’re discussing Putin’s strategy of
repression, the real state of the Russian economy, and whether Putin really has
a clear foreign policy. Featuring
interviews with authors Maria Lipman, Sergei Guriev, and Daniel Treisman.
