Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Rise of Russkaya Obshchina in Putin’s Russia: Echoes of the Black Hundreds? A Conversation with Sergey Sukhankin and Paul Goble

Q: What signals indicate the movement has official backing or collaboration with the state?

Evidence includes joint street patrols with the Russian militia, the use of a passport photo upload to join or access information, and signs of alignment with security and religious institutions, though direct official endorsement is not clear-cut.

The Rise of Russkaya Obshchina in Putin’s Russia: Echoes of the Black Hundreds? A Conversation with Sergey Sukhankin and Paul Goble

Q: Why did Sergey decide to write about Russkaia Obshchina?

He suggests the movement reflects broader trends in Russian state development and became a focal point due to its roots in 2020, its alliance with the security services and the Orthodox Church, and its spread amid wartime conditions and internal radicalization.

Lost in Space: Where is Russia Headed - Upward or Downward? An Interview with Russian Space Expert Pavel Luzin

Q: What is your long-term outlook for Russia's space program, especially regarding the manned program and potential dependence on foreign tech?

Pavel argues that Russia will likely preserve its military space capabilities and rely more on small, short-lifetime satellites, while the civilian manned program faces a real risk of reduced activity or suspension by the 2030s if current trajectories persist; he notes China and other countries will increasingly fill gaps in space capabilities, pressuring Russia to adapt.

Lost in Space: Where is Russia Headed - Upward or Downward? An Interview with Russian Space Expert Pavel Luzin

Q: Pavel, welcome to the podcast. Let's dive right into it and start with the Baikonur accident. What is the current status of the Russian space program and where is it headed since the suspension of flights to the ISS?

Pavel explains that Baikonur's accident destroyed a maintenance cabin on the launch pad, blocking the ability to prepare launches until a new or restored platform is deployed; the focus shifted to restoring Baikonur while debates about the role of Vostochny and the timeline for new manned spacecraft continue. He emphasizes that the current low launch rate, aging infrastructure, and the lack of a fully operational manned vehicle drive the program toward a prolonged transition period.

Episode 19: Kellogg's Mission to Minsk: US Diplomacy and the Future of US-Belarusian Relations

Q: So Yauheni, what's going on now in terms of US-Belarusian relations?

Gregori argues there are signs of seriousness on both sides and that the Kellogg visit signals potential normalization, but cautions that concrete steps are still needed, including addressing sanctions and engaging regional partners like Poland and Lithuania.
